What an awesome Boy's quilt!
|
Your quilt is beautiful and I know he will LOVE it!
I made 3 D9P's for my boys last year for Christmas. My 7 year old (now 8) received on with Lightening McQueen, a gold, and that same checkerboard fabric. When I was tie tacking it and later on when I took the pictures those checkerboard pieces moved all over. Even when the I had the quilt lying perfectly straight it looked like they were moving. That is some really odd fabric! |
Your GS is going to do the Happy Dance, because his Grandma Rocks. With all that love and appreciation for Grandma's quilting, I see many quilts in his future.

Jan, where did you find that wonder fabric. My 12 year old grandson is in to Nasscar, and wants me to make him a quilt. That would be perfect for him.
|
Hobby Lobby for the fabric. Quilt pattern is Warm Wishes. I found it on this site.
If I were doing it again I might do the checkered fabric the same size as the rest of the rails - in the pattern it's bigger than the other two. But if you like it to strobe - I followed the pattern as written! |
You will own his heart for ever for this one! He will always remember the quilt his Grandma made for him!
|
It looks great and I'm sure he will love it! :thumbup: Is that the lucky guy in your avatar?
|
If he's anything like my younger grandsons, he'll be so enthralled looking at the pictures on the quilt he won't want to come out of the bedroom! You did a nice job!

Dear Jan
