I finally got my Thomas the Train quilt done!! Yippee, Skippy! Thanks to all with the quilting suggestions. I never though about train tracks until it was mentioned by thimblebugs6000. Many thanks!!

I also finished the wallhanging I made for his baby brother, Max. His grandmother wrote a lullaby for him and this wallhanging matches the words.

My little guy, is now 5, and he loved Thomas. We have a Thomas Aquadoodle--You "write" in train tracks and Thomas follows it. It is an awesome toy just sitting in my hall closet. Would your little guys be interested?? I hate to put it in the Goodwill bin if someone else could use it.
Let me know.

Thank you, thank you.

Unfortunately, you can't see the quilting on Max's. I used a blue metallic and made sun rays and gold metallic to make stars and ribbons on the borders.
