Made these 2 quilts for 2 very special great nephews as we were
seeing them at their Auntie's wedding in Calgary this summer(2013) . I
had picked up 2 fabric panels intended to be made into little 'soft
books', but made them into quilts instead. The first one is called "Can
You Find This?" and has trucks, motorcycles, diggers etc all over it. A
good one to also play "I Spy" with.
Both boys love superheroes
(they are 4 1/4 and 2 1/2 years old) so that Batman panel was a no
brainer when I saw it. I quilted around all the figures and letters on
the Batman one and then did some free motion quilting in the lighter
blue part. I didn't do any quilting in the black/white fabric sashing as
it really didn't need it with such bold colours.
On the car
quilt I spent a lot longer quilting around just about all of the cars
and vehicles, but it was worth it. Did some free motion quilting in the
green sashing. The car one is a bit larger in size.
I couldn't
decide which one to give to the boys, so left it up to their Mom as she
knows them best. She sent me a photo later of both of them sitting on
them and enjoying them -that makes it all worth while.
PS- both boys did receive a baby quilt when they were born also.
