Hold Tight (PIGS)



I made 3 quilt tops this year before I had a chance to quilt one. This one is for my friend Shiva’s first grandchild, Capri Isabelle, born February 3, 2022.



I used the “Jumping Jacks” crib quilt pattern from Quilts from Sweet Jane by Sue Pfau. I used this pattern previously for the “Socky” quilt. See May 2014. This is a classic and a fun crib quilt pattern.

The fabric came from Missouri Star Quilting Company. The fabric is called “ Joey” and has koalas and sloths on it, a funny choice since sloths are South American and koalas are Australian. I used charm packs, jelly rolls, and yardage for pattern.
