A couple years ago I made a little crib quilt for a baby at church. His Mom didn't want anything not all boy, so I designed a patchwork with applique of construction vehicles for the quilt and matching bumper pads.

This week the family is out of state on vacation, and they sent a pic of the little boy, with the quilt he won't sleep without.

I was really pleased to see it is holding up, and that it is so loved. It makes all the hard work worth it, to see that smiling face.

Awww that is so sweet

How cute is that!!!!

So very sweet!

What a perfect quilt for a little guy! My boys would have been crazy about that when they were little. Your own design?

Basically, my own design I had seen a quilt with the basic patchwork layout for the blocks, so I just drew them up to the size I wanted, according to the scraps I had in my stash, then drew up all the vehicles. The bumper had other vehicles on it, in different colors, and some patchwork 4 square on point. The quilting was free motion, in tool shapes, hammer, nails, wrench, screw, etc. Can't remember what all. It was so fun to do.

Awww that does a heart good to see a quilt being loved that much :D :D :D

Looks like one happy little guy with his special quilt!

Can't you just see the energy pouring off the little guy??? And your quilt is so cute too!

oh how wonderful. he's just so cute and just loves that quilt.
