I had intended to make more of these adorable foundation pieced blocks, but I cut things a bit short when I realized they would be perfect for my book loving friend's new baby. Using 20 blocks (8" square unfinished), I staggered the placement and added a quick border to make a 37 x 49 baby quilt.
The blocks, which use adorable Heather Ross prints, are just so cute for tummy time and story time - they would be great for any baby - but I know my friend is going to love making up silly tales about each one with her kids.
The background is a lovely, soft peppered cotton, and the backing fabric is a Alexander Henry print I have been hoarding for a while. A great black and white print goes with anything! I chose the texty binding print by Carolyn Friedlander which is a bit on the nose for the quilt theme. It made me chuckle anyway.
You can find the Tall Tales Quilt blocks by Quilt with Kate on Etsy.

Wow. I love it. I was planning on making a dragon quilt for my granddaughter, but she's getting older and she's an avid reader. This might be the better way to go. You've done a marvelous job, as usual.
Too precious and the perfect choice to gift your friend.
