As my husband drove to the airport yesterday, I finished hand stitching the binding on Leo's baby chevron quilt. Yes, I do tend to wait until the very last moment! The quilt top was finished quite some time ago, and I finished the quilting last week or so.

Last night we opened presents with Leo and his parents, but I didn't get any quilt pictures until this morning. With all the sewing I have been doing, Leo is the only one who received a quilt from me this Christmas. I hope to do better next year...yeah I know I have said that before.

Here's Leo's quilt on top of my husband's quilt. Leo and I had fun playing for a little bit before nap time (his not mine), and I snapped a few photos for this blog post.

You can rest assured I will be snapping quite a few more photos of this little guy while I have the chance!

ReplyDeleteGreat quilt for Leo! What a cutie!
ReplyDeleteWhat an adorable boy! I can guess how much you love spending time with him and nuzzling those chubby cheeks. Your "tummy time" quilt for him is great!
ReplyDeleteNo need to mention the baby. (We all know how Grandmothers feel)! I love the quilting on his quilt. And the quilt too! Hope you aren't sending out quilts any more.
ReplyDeleteGreat quilt, Rene'. I can tell Leo is having fun.
ReplyDeleteThe quilt is great and I like your idea to transition to solids from the baby fabrics. A quilt to snuggle!
