i threw this together using the blocks left over from The FWIP Named Ralph.

i used cotton fabric to back it so he qualifies as a Downy Quilt for Kids.

Ralphie Jr. looks great!

Ralphie Jr is just to cute.

Patrice, I love the quilt, but the title is absolutely a hoot! ROFL!! Good job on both!

I love it! It just shouts YaaaaHooo!
Who ever receives will love it!

Great job!

Great quilt-love the colors. I really like the scallopped (sp?) borders; are they hard to do? That's another thing on my list of things to try.

Love it!!!

thanks, all, for your kinds words. :-)

i used a wavy ruler to make the borders. i didn't use binding. i cut two layers of each border and turned it right-sides out after sewing around the edges. on the back i just turned under the straight edges and basted them down. when i deco-stitched the top, it fastened the back of the border at the same time.

Love it! The Downy project is such a good one-glad you chose that charity to give your quilt to, i know the kids will love it!!

Nice quilt...interesting technique. Can you show a close up of the border/edge area so we can see what it looks like?

Just a very cute Kid's quilt!1 love it

Awww :-P

Well, that is just beautiful! Great colors and design, excellent!

Ralphie Jr. is looking good! Love how you did the scalloped border. Aren't you clever? Gotta try that!

do these help?

I love your quilt, Patrice! And the name is still cracking me up!

Yes, quite a bit. Thanks for posting. That's an interesting technique!! Have you made a tute for it here on the board? I think a lot of people would find that incredibly useful!! So many people hate the binding part (not me, I love it, but I'm weird!!) and this seems like a great alternative.

I love it

Ralphie Jr is beautiful. I know that he will brighten the day for a lucky child. I am so proud of the members of this board and their loving, giving spirit.

Thanks, Patrice-that helps. I was afraid to try it with binding. This looks great, and now I'm anxious to try it on a baby quilt I'm doing.
Thanks!!

you should know, Marcia ... i used the purple and orange in your honor. :mrgreen: :lol: :XD: :XD:

i'm sure i'll use this type of border again. when i do, i'll take some step-by-steps for a tute.

Very pretty!

Looks great. Love your scalloped border!

Patrice

I just love a brightly colored quilt for the kids! Nice job!

I'll keep watch for Ralphi Jr's border tute, girlfriend! That's terrific! I'm hoping to work up another one this week. It's a wonderful charity, isn't it?
