I've finally finished the 2 yards of play mat got it all bound and even wrote my first label by hand. Not the prettiest, but it says what it needs I guess.

Becky I think you did great, it is nice and bright, has lots of fun places to go visit as well.. A great road to lead the way,. Nice job. I like your friend sitting on your shoulder as well. :) have a great day

AWWW......

Great quilt! I am sure your grandchildren are going to love it and have many hours of fun.

Love your cockatoo as well. We have a lesser sulfer crested cockatoo named Molly. We love her to bits!

Cute quilt. I think your label looks great.

what a smart idea...if you keep it at your house it will be a special play time mat...and I bet it will get plenty of use.

Thank you all. That is my version of the quilt police. He's an only FID (feathered kid)at this point. He likes the scraps I cut off to preen. The longer pieces, the better. I give him the long run of trimmed cotton when I finish a quilt & he'll play happily with that for weeks.

They live 1500 miles north of us. That wouldn't work for us, but if we could deal with the weather up there it would be a neat idea!

Becky thats great. Most of my grandchildren would love to have one, I have mostly boys 8 of them. Going to have to make one for some of them. Great job. Marilyn

Great quilt. Thank you for sharing.

What a fun quilt! Beautiful work!

so cute!...

Great quilt, the grandkids are going to have hours of fun!

Such a nice play quilt!! :)

Thank you! I did that one the hard way, but was told an easier way now and will try that way next time.

Your grandsons will have lots of fun with that quilt. Do they have matchbox cars?

Wonderful keepsake!

Looks like a lot of fun coming their way.

That is great! My 5 yr old son is in love.

Yes, a big collection however DH is a woodworker & plans to make some special little vehicles to use with it as it's a Christmas gift.

WOW !!! I love this !

I love your play mat. It looks like lots of fun. I love your bird too. I have a blue and gold macaw and an African Gray. They are so much fun.

That is so awesome! I bet my little guy would get hours of use out of something like that. Great memories made my grandma!

DH used to have a B&G Macaw. He was quite a character! We had to find him a new home unfortunately & miss him terribly. It wasn't until after he left we found out the reason for the aggression was my greenwing was in season. Then she got eggbound, spent 4 days with a vet & passed away. She was our comic relief & is greatly missed. She would have been a beaks on quilt police. She used to preen the fake fur while I was cutting/sewing teddy bears.

This is truly a fun quilt.

very nice job

That looks like it took a very long time to make! Thanks for sharing it.

It has taken quite a while because I've been dealing with carpal tunnel, but I did a little each day anyway until I finished. It's 2 yards of material. I had fun making it though, just picturing the boys happy little faces when they get it!

How fun!!!!

It is lovely,I plan on making one for my great granddaughter.

It's great;l your label is fine. Your grands will love it.

How cute is that and good job on the label!

I have that same fabric in a quilt for my DGS#5. It needs a little more quilting. I've had in my stash since the last century.lol Made one like it for my 19 yo DGS#3.

i LOVE IT. I wish I had "little ones" to sew for again.

Great job. Many hours of fun coming up for the recipient!

What a great play mat ... grandkids will love it!

Great job on the mat! Neat idea!!

What a job... :thumbup:

Love this playmat I may have to try one for my grandson.

What a wonderful play quilt. Makes me want to get down on the floor and play with my son's cars

Becky, I absolutely love the play mat, it would be perfect for my little grandson! Thanks for the idea! And, I also love your feathered baby! I also have an umbrella, her name is Gracie, she'll be 12 in June and we've had her since she was 4mos. old. She's my "little daughter"! LOL!
