Baby’s Playmat

Baby’s Playmat

Baby Bunting was a pattern identified in 1922 in Ladies Art Company and also in 1935 by Carrie Hall. Today, improvisational piecing with random grain placement on foundation pieced arcs makes an appealing modern twist for a baby’s playmat. Bright colors stimulate but traditional pastels would also make a great baby ‘s blanket.
I used Dr. Seuss fabrics as a basis for color choice to coordinate with baby Gus’s room in the blue and orange playmat. Another arrangement of the arcs uses a Northcott collection with Moda accents.
