When we get to St. Barths Silas will have one of the bottom bunk beds. So, it really was time for him to have his own twin size quilt. I looked through all of the patterns that I have been saving and I had some fun ideas. Then, I realized he's my 2 year old boy. He loves so many things. So, I went and picked out fabrics of his favorite things and decided to go with an easier pattern that would focus more on the fabrics. I have dreams of having some fun I-Spy time in the future. 
Then, I decided to put his name on the quilt, too. I love to do applique!
For the back I decided to try and do some fun strips. My Mom is always doing something creative to the backs of her quilts, and being the follower that I am, I had to try it too!
I love to name and label the quilts that I make. Here's the message I wrote to Silas:
My little guy loves his new quilt! Success!

Love it!! The "I spy" idea is so cool! You can tell he loves it!!!
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of appliqueing his name on the quilt. I want to do that someday!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the new quilt. I really want to learn how to do that...do you use a machine to do all of the quilting? Do you need a special one, or can you use just a regular sewing machine?
ReplyDeleteLove the quilt. You did a great job on it too. Love his name on it. Keep on quilting.
