A couple of little boy quilts, one for the new baby (the brown one) and one for DGS#5's fifth birthday (Cars). These are basically just a courthouse steps variation. I like to use allover meander quilting on these, since I know that they will be washed and washed again, although the Cars quilt ended up being stitched in the ditch.
Probably would never have considered brown for a baby quilt, but that's the color in his room. The orange and blue were intended to bring out some of the color in the focus fabric, but also will make little Mason's daddy happy. He's a bigtime Boise

State football fan!I'm also working a jars-on-a-shelf alphabet quilt for the same grandson. He's in pre-school and the alphabet is a big thing in his life right now.
Have also made a circus train quilt for one of the little guys, but that was when he was about four or so.
Another grandson got a chenille quilt with an airplane applique. I'm done making those chenille quilts, though. Probably the most boring thing a person could ever sew!

I love the way a simple design can be so effective. Thanks for sharing!

Kathi....love those quilts....grandchildren are in our future...1st try wasn't a success but they will again they assure me! So I love all the ideas...and I too love to meander allover especially when it is a quilt to be used and used ....
ReplyDeleteI love the "get'r done material" and had to buy it just because but have made pillow cases from it. Think the quilts are really great and the grand child will love it, I'm sure.
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of the alphabet jars, I just might do that one also. someday :0) LONNA
Those are so cute Kathi!
ReplyDeleteGreat job Kathi. I like to see quilts in colours that I don't tend to work with. I need to begin colouring outside the lines! Really nice.
