There is something so tender about Hugs, a quilt that wraps a whole row of little embraces across the bed. Each block forms a soft X, that universal shape for a hug, built from squares set on point around a sweet flecked centre, and the gentle greys sit so prettily against the blush pink background. Made up here in flannel, it has all the softness and warmth you could wish for, the sort of quilt made to be wrapped in.
The blocks are quietly clever in their construction, with small squares turned on the diagonal to shape each crossing X, then framed with soft white sashing that lets every hug stand on its own. Set in columns across the quilt, they create a calm, repeating rhythm that feels comforting from the very first glance, and it even comes in two colourways so you can choose the mood that suits your little one best.
Here is why this one is worth making:
- So soft and cosy in flannel. Worked in cotton flannel, this quilt is beautifully snuggly, exactly right for wrapping a baby or a little one up warm.
- A sweet, gentle design. Those crossing X blocks and soft pastel shades make a tender, welcoming quilt, lovely for a nursery or as a heartfelt gift.
- A generous, huggable size. At 60" x 74", it grows well beyond a cot, so it can carry on as a snuggly throw for years to come.
