The perfect accent to your favorite cozy space, this gorgeous quilt has been handmade by me from the highest quality materials. Inspired by vintage bedsheets from the 70s, I put this pattern together in a traditional patchwork pattern. I wanted a quilt that looked like it had just been pulled from your grandmother's cedar hope chest-- something soft and clean, something familiar and safe, something comforting in its simplicity. I've had this pattern custom printed onto a seamless piece of high quality fabric making this a "whole cloth" quilt. The top is not pieced together from small blocks of fabric, though I've designed it to look that way. The entire top is one seamless piece of fabric; this gives it the look and feel of a traditionally pieced quilt. If you're looking for a traditionally pieced quilt, I'd love to make one for you; please feel free to reach out, or you can check my "Traditionally Pieced" section here: https://www.etsy.com/shop/OutOfCharacterQuilts?ref=seller-platform-mcnav§ion_id=46334629 I've quilted the entire thing in a meandering loopy pattern which adds to the quilt's vintage feel. The quilt shown here is backed in a soft and durable cotton/poly blend; you have a choice of colors in the dropdown menu at checkout, and if you'd like your quilt backed in a color not listed, just let me know in the Message to Seller box and I'll get it for you. You have TWO FABRIC OPTIONS when choosing your quilt: DOUBLE GAUZE: 100% cotton double gauze is often called "muslin" and is commonly used in baby blankets and swaddles because of its lightness and breathability. The weaving together of two layers of gauze creates a material that is incredibly lightweight and airy yet strong; it's also a coarser natural fabric so it has a more rustic look and feel. The double gauze version of this quilt is extra crinkly and measures approximately 66" x 50". Again, this version is very lightweight. Because of its looser weave, double gauze isn't recommended for pets with sharp nails. MINKY: Minky is a polyester-blended plush fabric; it's a cuddly, silky soft blend that triumphs over comparable fabric options in every way. Warm and durable, it boasts an unrivaled thick plushness that is soothing and cozy. The minky version is approximately 70" x 54". The colors are bolder, and the quilt itself is much heavier. If you're looking for a heftier, warmer quilt, this is the best option for you. Both versions are gorgeous and striking in their own way. Throw it over your favorite reading chair and you'll do more reading. Fold it over the end of your bed and you'll find yourself sleeping better. Spread it on the floor for your baby to happily roll around on and you'll do more laughing, picnicking, tickling, and snuggling. These are all sound guarantees. The quilts are shown thrown over the foot of a standard queen-sized bed in the listing photos, but it is not sized to be standard bedding. Machine wash warm. Tumble dry low. Gets even better with time. The rustic nature of muslin means that there are often natural variances in the weave of the fabric.
