    I spent a year making quilts for each of my 7 grandkids 2 years ago. I tried to make each quilt fit that child, and I made them pillow covers to go with the quilts. The twins quilt started it all, the fabric is the same in each, with the lions and elephants fussy cut and surrounded by the colors they liked. Grandkids range in age from 6 to 10. This year I have a new grandbaby, and yes, he is also going to sport a new quilt! Hope you enjoy the pictures.

    Dakota is into the nascar racing stuff, his blocks represent the flags.

    Great job, they look great.
    I did the same thing for my 4 grandchildren.
    One I put her pictures all over it, she was the 1st one.
    Now I need to make a new quilt, the pictures just don't make it to long with kids.
