Even though it's triple digit temperature on the East coast my friends little one is still using his quilt I made him. How cute is that?

Looks like the quilt is very comfy!! Child is just a lil cutie!! :-D

How cute and sweet!!! Isn't a sleeping baby beautiful?!

Adorable, what pattern did you use for this?

That's a great backing for a kids quilt!

It looks so cuddly...and well loved!

Love the purple lips and nose!
Great quilt also.

Both are adorable!

He is a dolly! Your quilt is so right for him! Great job!

How cute

Darling pic and that quilt is adorable!

Priceless!!

No pattern, used 3.5" strips and did 5 blocks across and 6 blocks down, inner border 1.5", outer border 4.5" total 55" across, because minkee is only 60" wide.
let me know if you need more info.

He had just finished an ice cream cone!

Cute, cute.

Awesome. The comfort it brings is a joy to see

Thank you all, for the nice comments!

Now that is a loved quilt. It is adorable and so is he

thanks, i guess i do need some more guidance. approx. how much of the top two fabrics will i need? and also, need info as to how each block is assembled, as i can't get my head wrapped around how just looking at the picture. no hurry, just when you get a chance. pm me if you'd rather do it by email. thanks again.

cute

Looks like Minky on the back? So soft and cuddly. The fabric and pattern is very cute on the front too.

So sweet!! Looks like my youngest grandson did when he was little. Lips, nose , blonde hair and all.

Oh My goodness! It is a security thing for him...how sweet is that?

Adorable quilt and sleeping child!!

So cute!

Gotta love the blue lips & blue nose!! :lol:

No problem, but bear with me I may not be good at explaining and if someone who really deals with patterns wants to pipe in, you're more than welcome. So here goes it:

You'll need roughly 28" of each color you'll be using for your inner blocks. Then cut that into 3.5"x wof (40") strips

For the center of the block you would take one color of each fabric and sew, then sew an alternate strip. You'll do this for each color combo. Then cut those into sub cuts of 13-3.5". (You'll need to use one full strip and a partial of another.)

This should measure 9.5", you'll then cut into the remaining strips for 26-9.5" Sew two 9.5" pieces to the sides of the 3.5" cut pieces.

6" fabric for the inner border cut into 1.5" strips
18" fabric for the outer border cut into 4.5" strips

On my previous post I said it was 5 blocks across and 6 blocks down, but it should be 5 and 5. Sorry for the confusion.

I hope this helps. I use my Accuquilt studio so I make my quilts to the dies I have, I'm pretty lazy and don't follow patterns only look at pics! Let me know if you need more info.

Love the little blue face....

Love the lips and nose! Makes the quilt pic perfect!

I like it!

Nice quilt..........cute kyd!

Great quilt. Looks like that fleece backing is the comfort thing :) even in the heat.

Awww -he's a doll! Love his little icecream face.
Your quilt is so cute and cuddly - how could he resist? Love your pattern and fabric.
I was curious about what you used for your backing too - What is minky? and is that what you used?

Thank you!
I used Minky, a soft plush fabric. I use Minky for most of my baby quilts, I just wish they made it wider than 60" so I wouldn't have to piece it for a bigger quilt. That's on my to-do list!
