I'm continuing to work on my holiday gift list. My nephew is getting a crib-sized quilt. He's two and my sister has decided that he's old enough for a heavy blanket this winter, but when she priced toddler sets she decided it would be cheaper to let me make him one for Christmas. Thanks, sis!
I made him a quilt where the top is just four wide stripes. In each stripe I'm quilting some designs that appeal to him - his name, pirates, trains, and puppies. So the interest will be in the quilting, not really in the piecing.
This is my favorite picture so far. Run, little puppy!
This is part of a pirate scene. There's also a dolphin and an island with a palm tree. This is just the ship and the sea monster.
ROAR!
One of the panels has a train, and it's my least favorite. I'll have to think of some things to add to it to make it less plain.
Finally, I'm stitching my nephew's name into one of the panels. Since the letters are big it's taking longer than I had expected. Those letters take forever to fill! I still have one and a half of them left.
So that's my nephew's quilt. Once it's done I'll move on to my son's teacher's gift.
