Little Quilts for Kids

Calm

Often what a child most needs is something calm, soothing and non-stimulating.  This doesn’t mean they have to be soft and pretty but it does mean low contrast, quiet prints, not busy, and simple structures. The tactility is especially important, leading the fingers to explore and soothe.

Quilt sizes: 35 x 45cm, 45 sq cm
