A quilt inspired by a blanket

A while back, I spotted this army blanket,
source: the boo and the boy
(great blog, BTW)


which inspired me to make a quilt in a similar design:
I love the simplicity if the design and how the sherbet-y colors combine with the dove gray and cream to create a soft palette for spring.
I made five in all: blush,lavender,banana,soft lime, and periwinkle.
The back was inspired by a vintage wool blanket I remember from my childhood.
Each one measures about 19.25 X 25.75. I think they would look great hanging in a modern nursery, or just as a small cuddle quilt for a child (the gray fabric is so soft!).
For sale in my etsy shop!
