Bernie had asked if I wanted to curate a bundle of fabrics from her shop for April and I jumped at the chance, I love playing with prints and coming up with different combinations.
For my colors, I went with my favorites of blues (both dark and light) with a pop of mustard.
Do you like the five-piece bundle? You can get yours from Needle and Foot's Etsy shop right here. The bundle is available in both fat quarter and 1/2 yard bundles and is on sale 20% off through Friday night.

The bundle contains the following five fabrics:
- Asteria in Ecru by Angela Walters for Art Gallery Fabric
- Tartan Midnight - Indie Folk by Pat Bravo for Art Gallery Fabric
- Scenic Blue Sky - Bountiful by Sharon Holland for Art Gallery Fabric
- Terra Firma Sunlit-Garden Dreamer by Maureen Cracknell for Art Gallery Fabric
- Panda Patches Contrast from Pandalicious, designed by Katarina Roccella for Art Gallery Fabric
I knew that I wanted to make something with this bundle of fabric and not just let it get absorbed into my stash. Looking through my patterns, I settled on one of my older designs called The Quilt in a Hat. This pattern uses 4 fat quarters (or 1/4 yard cuts) plus some background yardage to make a 36 1/2" x 36 1/2" baby sized quilt.
The Quilt in the Hat is available as a digital pattern in both my Etsy and Craftsy shops and is a perfect pattern for a quick quilt. The baby size is shown below, but the pattern also contains instructions for lap, twin, and queen sizes.

I used the Tartan Midnight, Scenic Blue Sky, Terra Firma, and Panda Patches combined with some Bella Solids in white by Moda in the quilt top (I saved the Asteria for another quilt).
The backing is a fun, gray print from Blueberry Park by Karen Lewis for Robert Kaufman Fabrics and I used my go-to batting, Warm and White (I even pieced the batting to use up some of my batting scraps).
I quilted the baby quilt using an allover double loop pattern that is whimsical for a baby and open enough to keep the quilt soft and snuggly.

This quilt is heading to my sister's good friends who are having a baby this summer after a long struggle with infertility.
