My second son was around 18 months old when I finished his quilt. I chose to make him a plus sign quit because I had seen one at a quilt show and thought it was really cute. This was a pretty easy tutorial to follow. It would be adorable in any color combination for a boy or a girl.
I chose to do bright, boy fabrics for my son's quilt. I just picked out as many as I could find and started cutting. I did the binding in all the different fabrics as well. I quilted it together by sewing a straight line on both sides of each part of the plus.
The back was made from an extra sheet I found on clearance at Ikea. I thought it looked perfect for a little boy! Then I cut the letters out for his name and appliqued them onto the back of the quilt as well. I love the way it turned out!
