I have been working on this quilt since I found out my daughter was pregnant. My grandson Alex is now 11 mos old. I want to give it to him for his first birthday on February 17. The only thing I am not happy with is that the stripes in the border should be mitered but I didn't know how to do it so I did it differently.
|
That is so cute!!! Mitering would have nice but I think it looks great!
|
How cute is that? It's going to be his favorite blankie! He's getting old enough to cherish it now. Way to go grandma!
|
OMG that is just ADORABLE!!
|
That is one adorable quilt :thumbup: :thumbup: The border looks as if it has already been trimmed. If so, you may not have enough length left to miter the corners. I wouuldn't worry though, as it is a great quilt already. Pam

Don't worry about the borders. The quilt looks GREAT!
|
Oh ! that is so boyish and cute...
|
That is a very cute quilt. He'll love it as much as he loves you.
|
That is sew cute. Nice work.
|

Great quilt! Where'd you get the pattern!?!
|
That quilt is so cute. Just right for a little boy.
I wouldn't worry about the borders not being mitered. I think they look nice the way they are. |
Way to go Grandma :!:
|
I agree it adorable, we have a tute for mitering borders here on the board if you'd like to check it out for next time.
|
He will love that quilt. I do and I am way over 1 year old.
|
If you do a search under "Playtime" and block of the month and it took me to some places that have this available. Thanks for all your nice comments.
|
What a wonderful quilt. Great job.

It's perfect. I like all the different designs and block sizes. It is going to be treasured.
|
aw that is so cute
|
I think it looks just fine and it is the quilt maker's choice how they want to make their quilt. No quilt police here and I have never mitered my borders..
|
he is going to love it.
|
That is amazing!!! I like the borders as they are. Perfect!
|
Awesome job on the quilt...Love the bright colors....Lucky little boy will love it for a long time, I'm sure....
|
WOW awesome !!!!! Is this your own pattern? love it
|
He's a year old--he doesn't give a rip about mitered corners! All he knows is that his grandma made him a quilt that he's sure to love!
|
Beautiful Job Grama!!! He is going to love it :D:D:D
|
SO lovely.
Who notices the stripes?!?!!? So beautiful! great work! I don't miter corners most of the time.... |
I love it. What a lucky little boy.
|
A lot of time invested but what a grand result! Who wouldn't love it?
Ditter |
That turned out just fantastic. What a lucky little boy. Where is it written that corners must be mitered? It will love it. Great job!
|
I love that quilt! Having had 11 little grandsons in a row, I am way behind on quilts for all those boys. You have inspired me!
|
Cute and fun! Great work!

Well I am finally done Alex's quilt with a few days to spare before his 1st birthday. All I have to do now is put on a label.
|
It is prescious....tell everyone it was made with love, prayers, and a few imperfections. That's what I tell everyone I give a quilt to. He will love it for many years to come.
|
It is great. Maybe next time you can try a miter.
