Our friends Jen and Chris recently welcomed their second baby, a daughter they named Aria, into their lives. Well, it's not all that recent, she's already six months old and it took me this long to make her a quilt! I had the fabric picked out before she was born but I tend to triage projects when I sew so I forced myself to finish a few other things before cutting into the stack I had put aside for Aria. If I may say so, I think it was worth the wait! I think it's one of my favorite quilts. I used the free tiny tiles pattern from Purl Soho and it seems to be a popular one - three other people have asked me about making this quilt for their little ones! Scrappy quilts are always my favorite. In this one I used some Rifle Paper Co. designs as the jumping off point and added lots of other pretty fabrics including prints by Carolyn Friedlander, Annie Brady, Tula Pink, Denyse Schmidt, Annabel Wrigley, and Lizzy House. I think the back is a Rae Ritchie print for Dear Stella but I cut off the selvedge and can't remember. I bound it in lots of scraps, all from Annie Brady's Yucatan line. I hope it brings Aria comfort and warmth, and that it's a pretty backdrop in lots of the pictures her parents take of her!
