Frequently Asked Questions

Why is hypoallergenic a real selling point here?

Baby quilts live against infant skin and get washed constantly — polyester minky doesn't harbor dust mites or allergens and survives the wash frequency that would wear a delicate cotton, which is why minky dominates baby backings.

Baby Blue or Bluebell?

Baby Blue is the clear classic nursery blue; Bluebell carries a lavender-periwinkle cast. Traditional baby-boy palettes want Baby Blue; floral and feminine palettes want Bluebell.

How does it map to the Bella blues?

It sits lighter and softer than Nautical Blue — closest in spirit to the soft register of Amelia Blue. A light-blue Bella front over a Baby Blue minky back reads as one gentle object.

What bobbin on light blue plush?

Soft blue or white — white blends naturally into the light ground and is the practical default on nursery quilts.

No-seam sizes?

At ~60" wide, baby and throw quilts back with zero seams — the format was practically made for the baby-quilt use case.
