    Yet another project from my stash. Yippee!
    I did my first curved seams in this project for my son. It's one of his Christmas gifts. It serves as a kindermat that he can take to preschool when he's older or he can use it as a "race track" for his little cars.
    If you look closely, you'll notice a white fabric with yellow and red bears on it. My Grandma used to have a blankie at her house that all of us grandkids used so much that it fell apart a few years ago. She gave me the blanket to see if I could fix it. I ended up salvaging as much as I could of it. I made her a new quilt with it, and put the leftover scrap into my son's nap mat.
    I can't wait to see him use it after he gets his little Chuck the Truck toys for Christmas!

    It's hard to see, but I embroidered all kinds of different vehicles on the nap mat.

    It rolls up for easy portability and storage.

    What a gorgeous quilt. Your son will get so much use with his quilt and what beautiful memories to include fabric from the blankie. :)
