Our littlest grandson, Everett, turned one in May. He is fascinated with any toy that has wheels and loves to play with his little toy trucks, tractors, and cars. So when I saw "Going Places" fabric in Bernie's Needle and Foot Etsy shop, I knew it would be perfect for a play quilt.
The back was also found at Bernie's shop. I only ordered a yard, so I added a gold print to make it fit. I was going to bind it in blue, but my husband liked red, and I think he was right!
The quilt is waiting for the little guy next time he comes to visit Papaw and Grandma - hopefully next week!

ReplyDeleteSuch a bright and happy quilt. I am sure Everett will have hours of fun playing with it... till he is exhausted and falls asleep. His parents will thank you too :-D
ReplyDeleteMaking kids quilts are such fun, aren't they? It's like being given permission to play with toys again, looking at the fun fabric. What a fun quilt with all the cars, boats, trucks and the bright color. I'm sure Everett is going to love this quilt, and I'm so glad you get to give it to him in person! Happy 4th to you and yours!
ReplyDeleteThat is so cute, Linda! I love the vehicles, but also your in between fabrics, too - especially those dots. Is that from Bernie, too? It will be so fun to give the little guy his quilt - I bet he'll love it!
ReplyDeleteThis quilt is perfect for a wheel-loving grandchild! I love how you fussy cut each vehicle. Your little grandson will fall asleep and dream of things that GO :)
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh Linda. I just love this. May I steal a photo from your post and add it to the listing for the block fabric? I can't get the vehicle fabric any longer. I am so sad they are not reprinting it. :-(
