Lion I-Spy and Match Game - addl pic post #41
Today is my newest grandson's first birthday. I started this quilt for him about nine months ago and it is finally finished! He'll have to settle for pictures for now as I won't see them until next month and I'm too scared to send it [loss or damage]. It is completely an original design. There are two of every block for matching. He is a dual US-Canadian citizen so there are the Canadian Maple Leaf and the US Flag. His name means regal lion, so the colors and top are lion related. I had put the moon and stars on the left, but needed to balance the right... after thinking a while, why not add the Leo constellation! I got the lion to surround it from coloring pages and sewed it straight line. The hexie quilting on the top took about 3 hours with all of the starts and stops. The hexagon blocks were all sewn with partial seams so there is not a 'long' side to their borders. [I know, no one will notice that but me] The back is flannel.
