Wow! What a treasured memory this quilt will be for the little guy when he grows old enough to know about treasures.

Oksewglad.....such a precious quilt for your nephew. Sure to be treasured for a lifetime. I love stuff like this. Well done..

Project #10 - Fat Quarter Bundle Challenge.... One more pillow to make and, hopefully, I'll squeeze a table runner out of the scraps too. This pillow is the perfect pillow to pull out some 1 1/2" strips stashed away. I didn't have a pattern but, if interested, strips should be cut 1 1/2" X 3 1/2"....6 across/6 down = 18" finished. Easy peezy.. I think pillows makes great gifts. I've made many for gifts....but this one I'm keeping.. Lol

I see your coveted polka dot fabrics in there, Teen! Or as my friend's young niece calls them, 'poppa dots'. Pretty pillow.

oksewglad, That is one of my favorite patterns! What a clever way to make a memory for Great, Great Grandpa and a new little boy in the family.

Thanks all; I washed the quilt before taking the pic so it is all nice and clean for the little one. Now to send it over East.

Ten projects Teen! Fantastic and the last as good as the first!

Very cute and made special by the use of great great grandpa's shirts.
