a flying geese quilt for baby ruth

Early last summer, I sent a quilt to Utah-based photographer Mandi Rae for use in her new daughter's nursery. In exchange for the quilt, Mandi used her talents to capture photos of the quilt alongside its new owner, Ruth.

I based the color palette for the quilt on a few mood boards for the nursery that Mandi shared, and selected a range of peach and sage green prints and solids to work with.

I made a flying geese quilt similar to those I've done in the past, but instead arranged the geese so as to create an ombré effect.

I really enjoyed the challenge of working with a color palette that's new to me, and I especially enjoyed seeing these photos of Ruth with her quilt afterward!
