Little Folks play mat

Looking through baby pictures of myself, I realized that as an infant I was always put on top of a blanket. Whether this was to protect me from the house or the house from me, I won’t speculate, but it got me thinking that maybe there aren’t enough quilts in this house already (snerk).

I bought the fat-quarter bundle of Anna Maria Horner’s Little Folks flannels to make soft baby toys with, but there was plenty of fabric to make this play mat out of 64 8″x8″ squares. It’s retina-searing, yes, but I love the way this collection is spectrum-balanced, and the flannel is so so soft. I have it laid out for pinning, and will do basic straight-line quilting to hold it together.

No complaints about lack of visual stimulation here, no sir.
