Default All Aboard!

I bought a layer cake of Thomas the Train and Friends (Riley Blake) and cut it up into 2 charm packs and 1 jolly bar so I could get 3 quilts from it. I used part of a pattern (only 6 x 7 rows) by Villa Rosa Designs named Salt Water Taffy. The border is also Thomas the Train and I had to piece the backing...but it looks good. This is the 1st one and it measures 44 x 50 in size. l also decided to use a smaller meander than I usually do, and I really liked how it turned out. The solid red and black polka dot fabric was from JoAnns. This goes to Project Linus tomorrow.
Oh! I also listened to "the board" and tried polyester Omni thread in gray....Love It!

I like the quilt pattern you chose. The quilting and thread color are perfect as well. I will look forward to seeing your other quilts using Thomas the Train fabric! Looks like you are having fun.

Our grandson loved Thomas and had the whole railroad. What a fabulous idea to split the layer cake and use coordinating fabric to stretch the possibilities. Wonderful quilt any little boy would love.

I like you split backing and smaller meandering quilting. Some dear Project Linus recipient will be entranced with your Thomas The Tank Engine quilt.
