    I have always made baby quilts for new babies that are born into the family, just something I picked up after my MIL could no longer do it. Well, a couple of years ago my niece and her partner adopted two preschool boys (they had already adopted a baby!). So this being new territory for me, I ended up calling my niece and asking her if I could make the boys a quilt for their beds. YES was the answer. They both were from the Big Book of Rotary Cut Quilts. So I thought I would share them with you....

    Isaac was really into dinosaurs

    And of course Austin (the baby) got a Puppy Dog Quilt too!

    Those are going to be so cute. I love the bone border for the dinosaurs. As far as I am concerned a new addition to the family (no matter how old they are) need a new quilt.
