I made these 3 quilts this fall for my 3 grandson's ages 4, 1.5 and 1 year old. The bow tie was made in a class to learn how to use my new serger. On the transportation quilt I used my embroidery machine in all the solid blocks and then did line drawings of vehicles for quilting the borders. On the Happy worm quilt I used fancy machine stitches on mthe body of the worm and did leaf quilting on the green areas. They all seemed to like their quilts. (Along with the Happy worm quilt is my 4th of July wall hanging that is a "fake" double wedding ring pattern--don't know the real name of the pattern.)

Think all your quilts are great but really like that Happy Worm, have not seen one like that before. Plus the take on the double wedding ring is neat, would like to know where to find that pattern.
