This is a quilt for one of David and Chelsea’s expected twin sons. Once again I used the “Jumping Jacks” crib quilt pattern from Quilts from Sweet Jane by Sue Pfau. I used this pattern previously for “Rhythm and Harmony” in September, “The Zoo” quilt in August, “Hold Tight” quilt in March of this year and the “Socky” quilt in May 2014.
The charm packs for this quilt are called “Through the Woods” and have owls on some of the squares. From the vendor Fat Quarter Shop about the fabric line, “You can almost hear the crunching leaves below and the owls hooting in the distance with this collection full of forest images: Ferns, trees, flowers and moths in yellow, black, grey and white prints. Finally, all the lunar cycles of the moon to help you avoid getting lost in the woods!”
