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!!!!
Rene', this is an incredibly fun, bright, happy, cheery quilt! You've done another awesome job and the quilting looks fabulous!
ReplyDeleteThis tiny boy will wrap himself in it and know he is loved.
Bless you for having such a huge heart!
Great finish! I love the quilting on this quilt and the layout looks great, too. It will really brighten this child's Christmas.
ReplyDeleteVery cool!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lucky little boy. It looks awesome, and building blocks is a great name.
ReplyDeleteLove this sweet quilt. And polka dots!!
ReplyDeleteOh - it turned out wonderfully! I love the name and the backing and binding look so great too!
ReplyDeleteI love everything about this quilt: pattern, fabrics, quilting, and especially the backing. So sweet of you to make it!
ReplyDeletelovely Quilt! this will make a little boy very happy!
ReplyDeleteWho wouldn't love a gorgeous quilt like that - great finish, Rene'!
ReplyDeleteI love this quilt too Rene! Perfect for a toddler. That nice straight line quilting just finishes it off. A great finish!
ReplyDeleteThe 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.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteThat is a super awesome quilt! I am sure it will be a hit! Like the way you quilted it...
ReplyDeleteThis 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.
ReplyDeleteI'm in love with it too. It's so cute. I love the way the quilting looks. Thanks for sharing it with us.
ReplyDeleteMore 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!
ReplyDeleteThat 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!
ReplyDeleteI 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!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt, I love the colors! Great job. Happy Holidays!
ReplyDeleteoh this looks so amazing. it looks fantastic and the quilting really sets it off
ReplyDeleteit'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!
ReplyDeleteWhat a darling quilt!!
