Ok, here are some pictures of the train car quilt I made for my nephew. Remember I am a beginner and this is my first quilt. I have to even the sides up and add borders. I'll post another picture again when the borders are on.

Your quilt is turning out really, really cute. How ever did you make that little tractor on the flat bed? Are you sure you're only a beginner?
|
Thank you Yvonne. For the tractor...I cut out a piece of fabric that had the tractor on it and then hand stitched it on. I counldn't get my machine to zig zag it on nicely, not that the tractor looks that great. I was contemplating on taking it out. If I leave it on I have to get fabric markers and color in the tan thread that shows on the tractor.
|
I think the tractor looks great!!! I wouldn't color the thread, for fear it might bleed when it's washed into the white. I've seen a lot of applique work where the thread was a contrasting color and it's always looked great!! You're doing a wonderful job!!
|
That is tooooo CUTE. What a great job and so detailed, He is one lucky fella. I can almost here the whistle a blowin.
|
great job. what a lucky little guy. he will treasure it.
|
very nice! I am new to this too but I wasn't as daring to try something complex like you! Hope when I do that I do as well as you have! Awesome quilt!
|
That's quiet a train car for a "beginner"! You did great! My grandson loves trains also, did you use a pattern or make it up yourself. You really did do a wonderful job on it!
|
Really nice, wow what a lot of work, you did a super job.......I would hang it ........lady you are good :D
|
That is an awesome beginner quilt! Can't wait to see it finished! Also can't wait to see your next project!
|

|
Thats wonderful!...your nephew is one lucky little lad!
|
Thank you all for the warm responses. Kyia
|
You did a great job! I love your quilt, it is going to be beautiful.
|
Ah here it is, I've been looking for this since I saw the pics of your tree blocks earlier. It looks Great, so much detail in the trains, I love the tractor :P , that's a nice touch and I wouldn't worry about the thread not matching, sometimes is nice to have a contrast. Your weeping willows look really good with the trains. A really lovely quilt :thumbup:
|
It looks great, and I like the tractor, too! I was just looking at your weeping willow blocks again yesterday... I want to do something like that!
|
You really did do a GREAT JOB! So cute!

I've been quilting a while and I'd not be able to handle that!! You're doing great!! WOW!! Is it a combination of applique and piecing? Some little boy sure is going to be smiling!! :D
|
Thanks Kyiav - we really needed to see the whole thing again. It is so cool.
|
It is peiced. The only appliqued is the tractor which I didn't do a very good job on. Oh, well. I'll keep it.
Thanks for the compliments, Kyia. |
This a wonderful quilt! Don't change anything with the tractor, you did a great job.
|
I would love this pattern so I can make a smaller sized quilt so I could give it to one of our Autistic kids who loves all things train.
|
nice quilt........
|
you did an excellant job. keep it up
|
Wow you sure stepped up to the plate with your 1st quilt. Looking forward to seeing more pictures.
|
OMG this quilt is so cute. Great job. I have made a lot of quilts and some of them do not look this good.
|
Where you able to find the pattern? I had printed it off several years ago from a free pattern site, but have misplaced it and would like to make another. There were two did different engines, flatbed, boxcar, passenger car, 2 different caboose. Not sure if that was all of them. I never thought to put anything on the flatbed. Great idea. Still looking for the pattern if anyone remembers where it is. Thanks
|
This is an adorable quilt! It does not look like a beginner made it. I would love to make one for my grandson. He loves trains. Could you please share pattern info?
|
Adorable and you are doing a super job on it. Be sure to show us when you are finished. BrendaK
|
very cute!!!
|
How cute is that!
|
That's some awesome piecing... paper piecing? Really excellent for a first, fifth or 200th quilt!
|
So adorable. My grandson would go bonkers over it. I agree, are you sure you are a beginner? Lol
|
I like your train quilt very much and I see quilting success in your future!. I hope you will find great joy creating quilts for family, friends and charitable outreach. You are off to a wonderful start.
