This quilt has been a favorite on our couch for a month now (unbound!) and I just keep forgetting to take a picture of it….so this will have to do. I made this quilt for my boys because my chain reaction quilt was looking pretty worn….and Ben requested a "soft" quilt. So soft it is, with a bright blue minkee on the back (bought locally).
I sent this quilt to Christina for quilting. I’m sure she was cursing my name during the process as it took some trial and error to get the set up right….but I sure love the quilting.
I used some random fabrics and bright solids for this one. I wanted it to have a playful, summery, boy look without being baby-ish.
For those of you that asked and are waiting… I finished up the Bizzy Kid pattern. It’s only available in a PDF right now…and fyi…it’s a big file, 12 pages, and includes instructions for the kid size (48" x 60") or a twin size (60" x 80").
You can find the pattern here.
Also for those of you that asked, the solids in this are Kona Cottons in Chartreuse, Coral, School bus, and of course White. I have fabric ordered for a twin size version of this quilt for my son’s bed…a not so brightversion. :)
