My sister had a little boy last summer and of course I had to make him a quilt! I used a few of my 10 inch improv pieced red squares and made them into a large churn-dash block.
And I got all fancy-pants with the quilting. Much like these two I made before. Only this time I doubled up on the batting. Two layers of Hobbs 80/20.
One block had a couple white pieces in it so I quilted in his baby stats.
As I was doing the last bit of quilting, my son (6) wanted to 'help'. So I let him quilt the red blocks. I was nervous that he would venture out into the white areas, and he did a tiny bit a couple times, but I ripped those parts out and all is good.
I am happy to report that baby Angus likes his quilt and lays on it frequently.
