I had this thought in my head that baby blankets weren't really just for babies. They're for families. Blankets go everywhere with babies: through all the different rooms of the house, while they travel, to the park, to grandparents' and aunts' and uncles' houses. Not only that, but eventually babies become toddlers, who become kids, who become teenagers.
With that in mind, why not make a quilt that a baby would love--using bold colors and a geometric pattern--but with a modern aesthetic that would fit into a family's living room as part of the decor after baby's gone to bed? A quilt that could be well-loved throughout a child's life into adulthood, without being covered in cartoon giraffes?
We designed and brainstormed and sewed and worked for months, and now it's a reality, up on Etsy and out in the world! Here's our starting line-up of 6 quilts:
Kendra and I have had a fantastic time working through all this together and feel like we've created something we are proud to put our names on (or our initials, I guess!). If you like looking at pretty little quilts, here are all the links where you can stalk us online:
