Is this your project? Can you share instructions or a pattern with the Craftsy community?

Difficulty:

Category: Quilting

Type of item: Functional

For: Infant/Baby

Style: Whimsical, Funky, Cute


Materials

Cotton fabric, batting

What was your inspiration?

I wanted to give my great-nephew a baby quilt for his Christening.
I loved the three fabrics of the trains, planes and automobiles and decided to incorporate them all in one quilt. I then came across the Pick up Sticks block from FreshLemonsQuilts and thought this would make it more interesting and fun.

What are you most proud of?

I am very pleased with how it turned out, as the quilt can be used either side - back or front. Joshua's parents were so pleased with their gift and hopefully little Joshua will love it too when old enough!

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Take your time choosing material and block pattern - I did and I think it is worth it.

I love this - so very suitable for a little boy - and I really like quilts that have a back that's worth looking at! Well done!

Thanks again Pat, I love making the back of the quilt interesting too as then it can be used either side for a change.

This is just perfect. It is a very happy quilt. The fabrics you chose, the colors & the block pattern, it's like they were made for each other. Wonderful gift. Thanks for sharing.
