Summer 2011 :: Blue-Green and Dark-Light Frames

Happy happy birthday to our godson Henry! We made a black-backed quilt for his 2nd birthday for enjoying picnics in the park with his mom and dad. I've always used black as the primary color for my quilt backs for two reasons:

1. I want to make fun quilts for people without them feeling like I am trying to make THE baby quilt for them.
2. I want people to USE these quilts and enjoy them, and outdoor use is particularly great--and the black back prevents icky grass stains :)

I used a vinyl heat transfer to apply a little message on the back of the quilt.
