Sunny Crib Quilt

This Winter has been a particularly brutal one and for once, it’s not just in the NorthEast! States up and down the Eastern seaboard, not to mention areas in the MidWest and even Texas are getting socked with ice and snow. The weather seems to be a constant topic of discussion with the general consensus being that no one can wait for Spring.

With that in mind, we thought it the perfect time to share a burst of color, something to help us look forward to sunnier, and warmer, days. The Sunny Crib Quilt was designed by Karin Jordan of Leigh Laurel Studios as a quick sew project and a perfect way to use up some of those colorful Fat Quarters you’ve been saving up. One look at this little beauty is sure to brighten up your day, no matter how much snow falls this week;). Happy Quilting!
