Brave New Soul

Well wudja look at that! A quilt!

This is a quilt I made for my acupuncturist and his wife. They're expecting a baby next month, so far a non-gender-specified baby. School's got me pretty busy, so I rather than trying to make two (one for either), I made one, and hopefully it's not too much one way or the other.

The background triangles were originally 5" squares. The circles were an idea from "Circle Play", but the design is original. The background is a Fossil Fern Flannel, "Patina". I love it. I bought it online, and the description called it "steel blue and teal", but in the flesh it has lavender tones and lovely greenishness. I made the border purple to pick up on that. To make the gender issue more waffly too, I suppose.

Very happy with this one. I didn't intend for it to look so planetary, but it did sort of turn out that way. That's okay. He's opened up new worlds for me with these treatments, so I guess it's kind of appropriate.

Finished size (before final wash) 36"X43".
