This quilt was done
from a pattern called “Revolution” from Abbey Lane Quilts (AbbeyLaneQuilts.com)
by a customer for her granddaughter. The
top went together easily, and the pattern lends itself to a wide variety of
color schemes. The young woman for whom
it was made wanted a “purple quilt that isn’t a baby quilt”.<o:p></o:p></div>

The back of white
polka-dots on a solid turquoise lends itself to the color scheme of the top
without being repetitive to the pattern.<o:p></o:p></div>

Published in 1947, “Goodnight Moon” is a “classic of American children’s literature”. “Good Night Moon” is a rhyming poem with illustrations that include details such as a clock that progresses from 7PM to 8:10 PM during the story and a mouse that appears on every page.
