Hi everyone! Looking for a baby quilt that is simple and fairly quick to make? This project is completed with a beautiful nautical and neutral line of fabric called Hearty Good Wishes by Janet Clare. I also envision this pattern in a fun black and white theme with pops of color in the secondary designs! If you decide to make this quilt, I would love to see your creation! You can learn more about me and see some of my work on my blog at Urban Quiltworks.
