That little baby is going to ogle these sweet little animals by the hour and probably give mom a chance to get a lot of things done.! the shading of the animals and the expressions on their faces and their body language is really going to speak to this child. Girls are usually so visual and I think she will be trying to get into this picture and vocalize up close and personal! The muted pastels and cotton-ball clouds, such a sweet rendering of Noah's Ark and all the animals two by two. Love the soft floral backing and the cross-hatching looks like smocking. I would love to watch this little baby exploring this quilt just for her!
