It was fun to do the little boy. He is wearing Vincent's favorite colors, has the same hair color as the real boy and the same color eyes. He is kicking a ball, another of Vincent's favorite things to do and holding a cap with the letter "V" on it.

my 50 yo bro still has his landscape of the 100 acre wood with pooh & piglet in the corner that g-ma painted, yes, hung in his home office. (An artisan style painter, not a primitive, folks paid $100s for hers, back in the 70's)

Wow. That is very special that your brother still has that.

Pillow shams would be a good idea and I like the thought of simple pinwheels for the back. A lot less work!

Proof that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I think it just shows your generosity. You're pleasing him, not necessarily you...The payback will be love and hugs.

I LOVE it! As far as pulling it together, I think all the earthy colors do that nicely so you don't need to worry further....but I agree with the bright binding. And since you mentioned it, a reversible quilt would be that much more cool to a 4 year old! Imagine a nightime conversation..."Vincent, do you want to go to sleep with the bears and moose touching you or the other side?"....

I think it is just perfect! I put together an 'eclectic' quilt of leftover blocks and old blocks from a great-grandmother. Nothing matched but, when all together it worked! I, too, would love to see the look on Vincent's face when this is given to him!
