“A Little Garden”

This quilt was commissioned for someone preparing to welcome a new baby. The request was for bold colors, garden crops, and plenty of beneficial insects.

Unlike many of my other quilts, this one leans heavily on vibrant prints—especially fabrics from Kaffe Fassett and Tamara Kate’s Insectarium collection for Windham.

To me, this quilt feels wonderfully joyful. I imagine it as a tiny garden plot ready for exploration, with insects buzzing through the air, flowers in bloom, and cool brassicas unfurling their leaves. My hope is that it becomes a dreamy little landscape for the new baby and their family to enjoy.

The binding is hand-stitched.

This quilt measures 40 × 44.
