Sew & Tell Friday #11

I am in love with this toddler quilt!!!!



I appreciate all the layout suggestions for the Angel Tree quilt.  As much as I wanted to make this into a filmstrip quilt, I agree this layout is best for a toddler boy.




I went with the Alexander Henry circles for the backing and stripes for the binding.




I was actually able to name this quilt myself ;-))  Building Blocks.  I hope this soon to be two year old loves it even half as much as I enjoyed making it.




I quilted Building Blocks using Amanda Jean's grid quilting tutorial.  This great tutorial made fast work of the quilting...which I usually prefer to "sub out".

Check out all the Friday finishes by clicking  the Sew and Tell button in my sidebar.

Have an amazing weekend!!!!

  10. The quilt looks excellent. I especially like the quilting pattern. It really compliments the quilt. Well done. My son loves to build cubby houses with his quilts so I am sure it will be well cuddled.

  11. I follow Amy's Sew & Tell, but I haven't participated yet b/c the things I'm making are a secret for another week. Anyway! I LOVE this quilt! You did such a nice job. Very inspiring. Thanks for sharing it.

  13. This quilt turned out SO beautifully! I love the name too - how appropriate. I'm sure the quilt will be used like crazy. Looks like we're going to get a little cool over the next few days too (hoooooray - finally!). I've been wanting to try the grid quilting technique that Amanda Jean shows - now I'm inspired.

  15. More Charity sewing! I am loving this group of ladies more and more....Great minds think alike. Beautiful job. I sure the little man you gets it will really enjoy having it to cuddly up and keep warm. Like a great big granny hug!

  16. That quilt is gorgeous! Great job. I have been wanting to make one with alternating squares like this. And I love the way you did the quilting. So inspirational! Thanks for sharing!

  17. I love this one, too, so much that it's on my plan book for next year. You have put some neat prints together. I like it better than the filmstrip, the opposing squares have a neat frame feel. Very nice!

  20. it's amazing Rene!! I've wanted to try this pattern for a while now, and your building blocks quilt might have pushed me over the edge to do it! Great job quilting it! Every aspect of it (the fabrics, the quilting, the design) is complimentary to each other. Great job!
