A few years ago, my great friend from college was having a baby boy and I wanted to send her a little gift for him. I found some super adorable manly flannel and super soft minky fabric to make his quilt. It is a pretty small size - something he could easily carry around. I made it with simple squares on the front. You can see the dark blue fabric has little tools on it! The light blue and light green solids are minky.
The back of the quilt was the left over flannel pieces, simply sewn together. I think it turned out cute and was a nice personal touch to add to the gift. I quilted it together by doing intersecting lines.
My friend loved the quilt.
I am always nervous to ask non-family members if they still have the quilt that I have made for them as I wonder if they have already gotten rid of it. I have one that my oldest son got when he was born from a lady my dad worked with. I know how much time she spent on that quilt and it is the quilt that made me think I could also start quilting. It is the quilt that started it all!
Do you have a treasured quilt someone made for you?
