I like to make a flannel baby quilt for additions to the family.
Here is my grand-nephew's baby quilt.

Once kids get big enough for a bed (rather than a crib), I like to make them a big-boy or big-girl quilt.
This big-boy quilt started with the backing--I wanted to use this Thomas (as in Tank Engine) fabric since my grand-nephew's name is Thomas.
I didn't know how I wanted to do the front, but the RR crossing sign gave me the idea to use Xs.

I used some novelty fabrics in it for a bit of I-Spy fun.

I finished it with a striped binding which I love (though it made me dizzy to cut it out!).

This was a fun project, and I enjoyed making it.
Happy Quilting!
