I made this quilt for my GGS Lucas. He is only 3 and loves cars so thought this would work for him. HE LOVES IT. The lady who quilted it for me did a meandering pattern over the whole quilt, close enough so that his mom can wash it over and over and it won't fall apart. (That's my plan anyway)
I also made them a set of Santa placemats for the holidays last Christmas.

That little quilt is so cute! No wonder he loves it! How sweet of you to make it for him and with cars that he loves.
It will surely be his favorite blanket.

The quilt is adorable, but I was blown away by the placemat. That is soooooo cool! Have to do one of those.

Both projects are really nice, where did you get the idea for the placemats? They are soooo cute, I think I need to make some for the grandchildren's table at Christmas, most the them are still in high chairs, so I might have enough time.

Like the settings for the car blocks. Makes the quilt look extra special.

These placemats are so easy. The design comes from the book "Happy Holidays To You" by Nancy Halvorsen . I am going to make some more this Christmas for my friend's grands. I used scraps for mine. Carol

Both lovely.

Do you know "How much envy you guys that applicate"! Beautiful and well done.

Me applicating is almost as bad as ME knitting, etc. All thumbs. Never turns out the way I want or good enough for me.

Ditter43 05-25-2010 03:12 PM

The car quilt is adorable as is the placemat! Great job!

I have a GGS that turned 3 in March and he would love this quilt too. It's so neat to sew for little ones isn't it? My GGS loves dinasaurs (sp?), but I can't find any pattern for them.

Everything is so pretty.

BettyM 05-25-2010 04:12 PM

I have a grandson that would love one like this, too.

theresse 05-25-2010 08:06 PM

So sweet

watson's mom 05-26-2010 07:43 AM

Hi everyone..thank you for the kind comments about my quilts. The Santa pattern comes from an " Art to Heart " quilt book ' Happy Holidays To You ' #522B by Nancy Halvorsen, it is full of great things to quilt for the Holidays. The little car is from a pattern I no longer have but I made a plastic template from it that I use often. It would be easy for someone to draw their own template. I find that a good place to find kid's designs is coloring books. Lots of dinosaurs, kitties, fish, puppies, etc. Hope this helps anyone looking for these types of patterns as that is what I often do. Carol
