Yet another project from my stash. Yippee!
I did my first curved seams in this project for my son. It's one of his Christmas gifts. It serves as a kindermat that he can take to preschool when he's older or he can use it as a "race track" for his little cars.
If you look closely, you'll notice a white fabric with yellow and red bears on it. My Grandma used to have a blankie at her house that all of us grandkids used so much that it fell apart a few years ago. She gave me the blanket to see if I could fix it. I ended up salvaging as much as I could of it. I made her a new quilt with it, and put the leftover scrap into my son's nap mat.
I can't wait to see him use it after he gets his little Chuck the Truck toys for Christmas!

What a great gift! I love that you included that fabric in it :D:D:D

WOW you are a great Mom...its so cute and practical plus you got to use some of your Grams fabric too...

What a gorgeous quilt. Your son will get so much use with his quilt and what beautiful memories to include fabric from the blankie. :)

That is really cute!

Thats really cute. I made some that are just two solid fabrics with batting, but yours is much nicer!

Awesome! He'll use that for years!

Great project and so well done,love you colors pab

Cute!! Great job!

You are so talented! Very cute!

Neat idea.

What a neat idea and to include your blankie is just pefect. I can see his smile from here.

Oh, I always thought that would be such a great pattern for a kids quilt, but it always looked so time-consuming I gave it a pass. I love how yours turned out.

that is awesome

my goodness, such talent and imagination and grandma's quilt fabric is in it too! What a treasure. fantastic job on it all!:thumbup:

Very nice!!!!!

what a great job. He will love running his cars over the roads.

Pat

Very clever!
I need to consider one of these for our youngest grandson - - he is three and loves little cars. Might just be the ticket! <wave>

That is awesome!! You do really amazing work!! And with those little ones of yours to care for- I'm impressed :D:D

I absolutely LOVE it!!! Is this your own design, or is it from a pattern? If a pattern, which one? I would love to make one of these for my fiance's youngest grandson and perhaps one for our upcoming school auction! :D

Awesome, you have impressed me! Makes you want to pull out the old hot wheels and play.

That is a wonderful idea, love the tracks and the fact that it folds up for portability.

That's adorable! I love it!

What a fantastic quilt/race track! Love the quilting, carrying straps, streets, and vintage fabric with a history. I'm sure your son is gonna love it!

The pattern for the 8 inch blocks came from the Roads pattern in "The Encyclopedia of Classic Quilt Patterns." I figured out how to turn in into a nap mat on my own.

WOW! He will get many hours of pleasure from this!

What a good and fun idea.

DawnMarie.....I would love to see a tutorial on this!!

:thumbup: :thumbup:

wonderful!! He will enjoy that for a long time

You did a beautiful job plus it can be used to play with . This will surely be a plus for your son. Congrats. BTW I'm sure we'd all enjoy seeing a pic of your son playing on it.
Happy Holidays, Kutnso

What a wonderful gift. Great job.

Very cute mat. Great fabrics. Your son will love it.

You do such a great job.

That is wonderful, he will love and use it like crazy. What a lucky little guy. You are so creative, great job.

This s great. I played with 'ROADS' and buckets of match box vechicles for years with my son. When I see an idea like this I always think Where was this when when
Ned was little? Your boy will enjoy your gift.

I love this. Makes me wish my grandsons were younger. I made a floor mat for my granddaughter and made a bag that was like a sleeping bag cover for it. My daughter got lots of comments.

DawnMarie, Your quilt is darling. It's neat how it rolls up and can be taken wherever your son goes to daycare. THanks for showing. Eiltcoq.

That is SUPER!!! :thumbup:

That is such a great gift for a little boy! Your son should love it!

Beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
