My Favorite Quilt

It didn't take long after sewing the binding on, for this quilt to become a favorite in our house. We have a few quilts (bought not handmade) and although this is handmade (which automatically makes it better), it's the happy fabric and the surprising softness that our other quilts lack. The quilt seemed so stiff just like our other ones when I finished it, but after throwing it in the washer and dryer to get all that puckering goodness, I was amazed at how snugly soft it had become. I have been sleeping with my new blanket for a few nights now and have found myself curled up with it all over the house. Usually a little boy is hugging the quilt at my legs or trying to snuggle inside with me. Both Jackson and I are sick and have been for a week now, we have definitely found some comfort wrapped in this blanket.:: Avalon Pattern from the book Material Obsessions / Twin Size Quilt

I'm already dreaming up ideas for more quilts. I'd like to make a picnic quilt possibly using some of these fabrics, and eventually I'd like to make a twin size quilt (I like this fabric as of now) for Jackson once he moves out of his crib, hopefully I have a while to make that one.
