    i wish i could take credit..but my friend made it.
    she used batting, a medium loft poly on the back. did it just like you would with a regular quilt, backing,batting and puffy top.
    she said she didn't want to feel the seams on the back of the little puffs. i don't know how it is usually done, but that is the way she did hers.

    Darling and good contrast for visual exercise. Fun for a tummy time quilt too!

    I've used black in baby quilts, especially with bright colors.

    I heard that the more contrast, the more visually interesting for the baby; supposedly babies develop color awareness with black and white first, then the brights, then the pastels.

    Those who received the baby quilts let me know later how much the babies loved the quilts, so make sure to put some good contrast in any quilt given to a baby (unless you are appealing to mom & dad :) )

    I have been running the idea of making a biscuit quilt for he past few months. They look so cuddly. Just a wonderful idea for a baby quilt.

    Great quilt
