Tom's Big-Boy Quilt

 I like to make a flannel baby quilt for additions to the family.

Here is my grand-nephew's baby quilt.

Safari Baby

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!

Floral Baby

I'm still working on Grassy Creek, but there were a couple of things  I needed sooner rather than later. ⏰

It wasn't a great day for photos, but I need to wash and mail this baby quilt. 👶 I'll post the other project soon.

 

Grassy Creek--Part 6

This week, Bonnie Hunter's Grassy Creek mystery included string blocks--YAY! Those of you who read this blog know how much I love doing these.

I finished the units for clue 5!  Here are a few of them.

Included my buddy, Waldo, this week.

 

Waldo is easy to find here, but when the quilt is together, he will be a challenge! 🔎

 

Grassy Creek--Part 4

 Still keeping up! Clue 4 did some combining of parts to make a new unit.

I'm working on Part 5 today, and I'm really enjoying this mystery!

Happy Holidays! 🎄

Grassy Creek--Part 3

 So far, I'm keeping up with the clues in Bonnie Hunter's Grassy Creek mystery.

Haven't trimmed the dog ears yet!

It is a lot of fun, and it is not too late to start!

Grassy Creek--Part 2

 The second clue of the Bonnie Hunter mystery quilt, Grassy Creek, came out this week.

Grassy Creek--Clue 2

These are just a few of the units. I'm substituting blue for the green Bonnie used. The blue fabric is a tie-dye type, so I'm getting a bit of color variation in the units. I like that--it adds interest. Below is the photo I'm using for color inspiration:

More to come.  😺
