Finally finished! I started this quilt in 2006 for my first son. Now my third son is on the way- so I figured I had better finish it! It is only my second machine quilting project- so not the best yet-but I really enjoy machine quilting so I'll be doing more! I wish I could tell you where to get this pattern, or that I had a pattern to share....but I just kind of made this up as I went...so it is in no way perfect-but good enough for my boys! They LOVE driving their cars on the road- even if it wasn't meant for that- it now doubles as a bedspread and a play mat ;)
This was fun to make, and learn some more about quilting. I know it is really bright, but their walls are plain white and we needed some color in their room. (Besides, if you haven't noticed, I really like bright colors :) )
very nice! :)
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is great! I can see why your boys would spend a lot of time playing with it!
ReplyDeleteThat is fantastic! I am very impressed. I have no sewing ability whatsoever and it amazes me when I see all of the things you make yourself. Well done!

ReplyDeleteI really like the border with the road lines!
So creative!!
I love that you made up your own pattern! you go girl!
ReplyDeleteand it is perfect for boys, they will have many fun memories of this beuatiful quilt.
I love that Quilt. When we lived in Montana everyone quilted and I always said I would learn, but I never did. When I see quilts like that I wished I had. Maybe some day.
ReplyDeleteDang cute!
ReplyDeleteCute Quilt! You're so crafty.
ReplyDeleteI love it! It's so adorable and a cute idea! I just got fabric to make one for my boys - did you draw places to stitch the machine quilting? And did you make up the truck patterns - are they just cut and placed on with pins, then sewn on? Just wondering :)
ReplyDeleteWOW.
ReplyDeleteWhat a huge amount of work -- amazing job!
Who cares about a pattern, you should publish your own with this quilt. It looks fabulous. You have been extremely busy with fun crafting projects!
