It totally reminds me of the glamorous bathrobe katharine hepburn wears in adam's rib - but blown up and flat. Since that one wall hanging I made my mom many years ago for mother's day is the full extent of my quilting history this blanket might be out of my sewing capabilities, but V and Co does sell a pattern for it (making it much more likely this would be a successful project)! Also since a baby sized quilt would be pretty useless for my baby free existence let's double its size and make it a lap quilt! Perfect! Maybe in a nice dark grey and olive for a neutral yet stunning addition to my living room? Wonderful! Ok mom! This is what you can make me for my birthday! You've got four months to go! What do you think? Anyone up for the houndstooth challenge?
Anything that references Katherine Hepburn is wonderful. I can quilt squares...
ReplyDeleteThat could sit with all my other projects that I haven't had a chance to get to yet! But I was looking at the two quilt that I have finished (and not given away) and thinking I should do another one, so you never know. Mom
ReplyDeleteI love that this is gender neutral. It means you could make it for Jean, and if I have a boy next time, he could use it too. Bonus points if you score baby converse!
ReplyDeletethere's a pattern for it in Issue 4 of Fat Quarterly. It is quite simple really but so effective, Im doing it in black and white for my Mum
