What could be cuter and softer and more serene than a panda sleeping on a moon!!
Made for the granddaughter of friends of ours, this pattern, like several others I have made, comes from CountedQuilts.com.
What kicks it up a notch is that it has an associated fabric line! Little pandas on clouds, random pandas on white, and a field of stars, all in very soft pastels.
The only semi-tricky thing about making it was that I had to cut both lengthwise and widthwise for the outer border so that the clouds all faced up.
The quilting is mostly free-motion....wavy lines in the sky and loopy swirls in the clouds, moon, and corner pieces. I ditch quilted the edges of the panda and around the three borders. Matching colored threads in each area of course.
And.....as this is the Year of Coronavirus, Wendy suggested that I use the leftover fabric to make masks for the parents! So here they are:
Something for everyone in the family!
And here is baby Eleni (in what appears to be a matching onesie!):
