| Began and Finished 2018 |
First up is the finished Cars quilt. I put the label on Saturday, but had to wait until Brownie went to work today before I could show the final product. If you noticed the white lines before, those are velcro strips. They are for the carports (pieces of vinyl placemats covered with fabric, with the corresponding velcro on the edges). A couple of little toy cars, and the quilt is ready for car trips. The back is flannel to make it warm and snuggly. This was my January goal for both One Monthly Goal at Elm Street Quilts, and American Patchwork & Quilting UFO Challenge.
If I had a design wall, this little block would be on it. I'm not sure what I will do with it except that I want to make it a small wall hanging.

Very cute Car quilt that will be very popular, no doubt. I remember my Grandma made a town by drawing roads and houses on very stiff interfacing, using liquid embroidery. We played with cars on that for years and years.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad it's finally done too! I'm waiting by the phone for the call that says a certain little boy has it now.
ReplyDeleteSo cute!! I love the carports! <3 My nephews would LOVE this quilt!
ReplyDeleteThis is an awesome first finish for the year! The little detachable carports are so cool! This quilt can spend lots of hours being played with and snuggled. Can't wait to see what you do with your block, it will make a wonderful wall hanging.
ReplyDeleteI agree that this is a great first finish! What a super idea with the carports. I know some kids who would love this too.

ReplyDeleteI love your quilt! I have that same fabric - your quilt is an inspiration for a quilt for my grandson! Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on a very fun finish! The carports are such a cool idea. Someone is going to have a lot of fun and snuggles with that quilt.
