Cuddle quilts for Nieces
 
4 Attachment(s)
We have a Niece in Tx that lost their house in the fires on Labor Day. Her husband had just gotten home from 14 months in Afganistan. They have 2 girls, 10 and 4. They are living in a camper trailer for now. So big bed quilts would be too big. I made them Cuddle quilts. One likes blue and the other green, so they are a little different. sorry the pictures are sideways. My camra program will not turn them for the forum.

They will treasure them - so thoughtful of you :) What size is considered a cuddle ?

The fabric on the back of the second one is adorable( well they both are but that is the style of fabric I would pick for me LOL) - what is it ?

Great quilts and fabric choices! Love the way your quilt holder is peeking over the top...reminds me of Wilson on home improvement

Wonderful quilts for the nieces. They're probably really happy their dad is home.

vickimc 12-18-2011 08:07 PM

Several of you asked, what size is a cuddle quilt. I guess any size you want. these are about 40 X 56. which will be a good nap quilt, or couch quilt for the girls.

breezyquilts 12-18-2011 09:03 PM

Very sweet quilts, I am sure the girls will love them!!

par4theday 12-18-2011 09:10 PM

I have been making these for grandchildren and using those fleece throws Walgreen's often has on sale as the backing. It makes the cuddle quilts especially cuddly and cozy. They are sometimes marked down after holidays and are cheaper than the yardage they are about 48 by 60. Just a thought, best of luck to the family without a home due to fire.

luce321 12-20-2011 04:16 PM

Your quilts are so pretty. How sweet you are to make these for the family. I know they will appreciate them.

Dee Dee 12-20-2011 05:32 PM

I really do like those. Simple pattern but really pops.

Kelela 12-20-2011 06:16 PM

The cuddle quilts are adorable. How wonderful for the two girls to have something for cuddling after their home
