"Summer Road Trip" Baby Boy Quilt
 

I learned a tough lesson about the wiley ways of bias edges with this one, but persevered and won. Note to self: Starch is your friend, and measuring the center of the quilt for borders is not always a waste of time.

Behold - the Incredible Walking Quilt, and then spare blocks added to the back.

This is really beautiful! Thanks for sharing! I'm about to start a baby boy quilt and this has given me some nice ideas.

You have me laughing
Starch is my friend...

very nice

A lovely little quilt. Learned lessons are a good thing ;-)

So cute. I love the trucks!

Very pretty. Love what you did with the back.

That beautiful. Love the fabric.

I love your colors and the way you did the back. Great job.

very nice quilt....I have never pieced the back of a quilt, now I know I will , yours is great. Both front and back.

Very cute! The front is great. I love the back.

Its very nice!

What an awesome quilt! I love the colors & am sorry it was such a stinker to work on... LOL! But you were victorious in the end & that's all that matters, right? WTG!

Great job, thank you for sharing
Have a Blessed day

Looks great front and back! What pointers could you give me, I have it sewn and ready to cut into diamonds...when should I starch?

Lovely quilt! On both sides! :)

nice job starch is also my friend lol nice job!!!

Spellbinding! I think he'll get much mileage, counting the trucks and trains, lots of fun, don't be surprised if he loves the backing most! Visual feast for the eyes! Very creative quilting.

Thanks! I found that if I didn't starch during the cutting process, my pieces stretched too much to allow the blocks to lie flat. Then I went crazy with the starch and the inner blocks stayed put while the outer blocks stretched along the border, making the border measurements really wonky. I had to wet, stretch, and block the quilt overnight before adding the borders on. Good luck!

It's gorgeous!!! :thumbup::thumbup:

This is a terrific quilt! Your colors are great.

love both sides you did a great job..thanks for sharing
