"Windswept" by me for my sweet nephew Jackson

At Christmas at my family's home, Jackson was asking his mom if he could have a quilt to take to his home.  I overheard the conversation and offered to make him one.  I had found this pattern in a magazine, and thought it would be perfect for him to cuddle under on the couch.

I had a great time hand dying the fabrics for the quilt, so I love all the color gradations.  Although they all came from the same batch of dye, some parts got more and are darker, while others are lighter.  All the fabric started out as white, and some, like the purple above, where white tone on tone.    When they are dyed, the dye doesn't affect the print, so that remains white.  Still fun to use the "wrong" side of some of the prints so you get a print, but much more subdued.

Quilted with the Whole in One panto after sending options to his parents and sister to see what would be the best match for Jackson.
