My adorable grandson David is going to be 4 next week and his Mommy wanted to get him some new organic cotton bedding for his room. Most of what you can buy already made is pretty boring. I told my daughter that some of the top fabric designers are now offering organic cotton yardage. So I emailed her some options and after showing them to David, these are the prints he picked out! He loved the airplanes and "hepto"copters :) These prints are from the Robert Kaufman's "Ready, Set Go" collection. I added the solid orange organic cotton because orange is David's favorite color.
I didn't have a pattern for this quilt. I just drew up a sketch and did some math and it kind of "evolved" as I was going along. I made 9" blocks and added 3" sashing and then a 4" boarder. The finished size will be 42 x 54. I'll be backing it and binding it in solid orange. Now it's quilt sandwich time and my problem is that I really want to hand quilt it, but can I finish it by Saturday? I guess I'd better get busy!!!
He is going to be SOOOOO excited! I looks awesome :o) I can't wait to see his face!
ReplyDeleteDo little of both.
ReplyDeletequilt most of it in the ditch and then highlight some areas with hand quilting.
win-win and it'll be done-done!!
he's gonna love it!!
It is so cute! I can't wait to hear how he likes it!
ReplyDeleteIt looks great, he's going to love it! I think you should do a bit of machine quilting to speed it up,then do a little bit of hand quilting as well to personalize it a bit. Honestly David will love it and won't care how it was quilted. It's made with love by Nana, that's what he'll notice!
ReplyDeleteVery nice Nana :-)!
ReplyDeleteToo funny! My 3yr old loves "kellycoppers"!
