Crafting On :: A Quick Quilt

A new bedroom with three new beds means at least one person needed some new bedding.  We have numerous small quilts and blankets, but none were just the right size for a toddler bed.  I think it's important to have generous blankets and covers.  Willow and I got inspired by Alicia's Calicozy Comforters and made this simple little comforter in an afternoon.

We used fabric that was already on hand, a sweet pink and blue print with some pink and blue gingham leftover from Willow's pajamas.

The back is the pink and blue floral.  Willow tied it in places to hold the batting where it should be.  It's not a completely perfect sort of comforter (all my fault!), but it is puffy and soft.

Oh!  Another word about toddler bedding.  At our house, we use top sheets, so I re-purposed a play cloth for hers.  It measures two yards long and works just perfectly.  I wanted her to have a bed like she was used to and she looks so dear when she is all snuggled down inside.
