My DH says make a picture quilt with an insert of a boy stomping in a puddle, but I don't know how to do that. Ideas?
Go to google and ask it for a pattern of a boy in a raincoat and boots and maybe an umbrella...
Blow up the pattern 400 % or more on your printer until it is the size you want and tape the pages together.
Make 2- use one to cut up. The other one is a guide or plan to use to get the pieces in their right places.
Pin the pieces to fabric, then cut them out and using fusable interfacing - follow the directions and fuse them down.
Then take a pic, post it here and if you want to - ask us - what next?
