Sunrise Baby/Adult Quilt
Inspired by watching the morning’s sunrise in winter, I created a piece that had all the colours of autumn and celebrated the joy of the morning. It sits beautifully inside a Moses basket or on the end of the bed or even hung as a wall hanging within the nursery or home. It’s simplicity and use of hand crafts; dip dye and quilting stitches makes it a desirable piece.
Materials Front and Back:
Organic Cotton Poplin. This is dipdyed using soft water based inks, which I go on to use again and exhaust. Then it's Block Printed with recycled transparent binder in RUST left over from my Textiles Degree. Then it's Hand stitched.
Batting of your choice: Organic cotton which is fluffy or wool reclaimed blanket which is flatter. (the images show the cotton batting)
Edging: Organic Cotton Double Gauze hand stitched down using organic cotton thread.
Yarn for Quilting: Organic Cotton yarn or wool/silk yarn
Colour: Is a gradient from an earthy peach/pink to a rusty/mustard and the print is rustyred. The Back of the quilt is a quiet peach showing off the rust stitches.

Care
Please wash this quilt on a very short and low temperature wash as the wool or cotton batting can be damaged. Drying flat without tumble drying is essential to keep its shape and fluffiness.
Turn Around
Due to me balancing markets up to Christmas this quilt could take a few weeks. But could be made in the run up to christmas. Beyond the 15th of Dec it would be a struggle to fit in.
