I sometimes feel that quilts have "personalities" and these two quilts became Sweet and Delightful fairly quickly in the process of making them!
I made this quilt with Leftover jelly roll strips and Kona Sand background I had in my stash.
from these two Summer Aria quilts.
If you are sensing a theme by now? Yes. I've been making a lot of "twin" quilts lately. I'm just love making two nice sized lap quilts we will use as a family versus one large quilt no one will use around these parts.
I fell in love with this backing fabric I picked up at Joann Fabrics.
I HAD to use the Glasswings pantograph pattern again.
The Sesame Seed Omni Thread by Superior Threads blended in perfectly with the background, jelly roll fabrics and backing.
And I still had enough of the Aria pink fabric to use for the binding of both quilts.

What a warm and heartening read! Quilts truly are sweet pieces of comfort, stitched with love and often rich in tradition. It’s amazing how something as simple as fabric can bring so much joy—especially to children. As someone recently working on a child-focused essay with paediatrics writing help, this reminded me of the gentle care and nurturing often needed in both healthcare and handmade crafts like quilting. The parallels between stitching warmth into a quilt and writing with empathy in paediatrics are surprisingly beautiful. Thank you for such a delightful post.
