I finished this quilt a few weeks ago. I have had it on my list for years. Jack got a twin quilt for his bed when he was 2, but it got worn out a while back and I never really liked it anyway.
I just did a simple top (8 inch wide strips) - which took no time to sew together.
For the back I wanted to use only fabrics from my stash. So this was sort of improv pieced. I LOVE how it turned out. I think I even like it better than the front. It's nice that it's reversible.
The quilting was just very simple straight lines random widths apart. My lovely sister-in-law Emily quilted it on her new long arm! Thanks Em! (If you're looking for long arm work - you should check her out! Here.)
Awesome in it's simplicity!
ReplyDeleteThe simplicity of this quilt is what makes it so beautiful. Also, I love the black binding.
ReplyDeleteGreat quilt! I can't decide which side I like better.
ReplyDeleteLOVE the simple boy quilt! we see so many detailed things all the time it's easy to forget to go simple. this is awesome!
ReplyDeleteDo you have a tutorial for beginners for this quilt? I love it!
ReplyDeleteSorry, no.
DeleteLove this, I think I'll make something similar for my boys when they get to needing a twin bed! So cute and simple. Might even attempt a queen sized adult version with creams and tans!
ReplyDeleteI pretty much copied the back of your quilt as the front of a quilt for my grandson. I want to put a pic of it on my Pinterest if you will grant permission. Of course, I would credit you for the design.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to see it! Thanks so much!
DeleteIs there a pattern? My Eight year old saw this and would like to make it as her first quilt to give to her brother. Or even just a simple guide to the front and back?
ReplyDeleteSorry, there’s not a pattern. I just drew it out on graph paper. You can find general sizing for quilts online.
