Signature Series – Atlanta Baby

It’s March, and what better way to begin March than with a new quilt?  Today I’m sharing a baby quilt that is a version of my Signature Series baby quilts I introduced last year.  I designed this pattern with the intent of making many versions of it because it is so versatile.  I love this one!

This baby quit is extra special because it wasn’t made for a client but for a friend of mine in Atlanta.  Before I moved to New York, I spent almost six years living in Atlanta.  I moved there for my job – not straight out of college but pretty close – and I did not know one single person.  As many of us do, I became great friends with one of my co-workers.  We were both just beginning our careers and ended up spending many hours, at work and outside of work, together.  Now, so many years later, we are still friends today.

My Atlanta friend Allison and her husband are expecting their second child and it’s a girl!  A few weeks ago she sent me her nursery colors with the direction of a peachy pink color, light aqua, super light gray, with accents of black and white.  I can work with that, so I used the Signature Series to incorporate all of those colors.

I think my favorite part of this quilt is the black and white polka dot binding.  It is the perfect finishing touch, and since I love polka dots, there’s that.

This baby quilt is now in its new home in Atlanta and we are all awaiting the arrival of its owner.
