This is another example of the Seattle Streets design. I made this one for a couple of friends expecting their first son. When I learned they were planning on a Starry Night nursery theme, I immediately remembered that JoAnn’s fabrics had a Starry Night fabric that would be perfect. I had planned to completely surprise them. However, at one point, exhausted after not finding what she wanted online, my friend texted me about prices for making something, and I had no choice but to confess that I already had something in the works.
I chose the Seattle Streets pattern once again because it’s a great pattern for featuring a lot of different colors. I used the coordinating colors from the backing and made the top to match instead of the other way around.
To keep with the swirls from the original painting design, I went back to my usual swirl pattern that I’ve used with this design before, using blue variegated thread. In the end, the backing stole the show despite the pretty front.
This was a fun one to make, and I love the idea of a Starry Night themed nursery!
