Making quilts for boys is challenging. Can I get an amen?? And I never have quilts suitable for guys laying around in my quilts to gift stack. Case in point. Around Christmas time, I told my niece she could come pick out a quilt. She came over with her husband, and her two children, Jenna and Jeffrey, to decide what one she wanted. She left with two because she couldn't decide and her darling Jenna left with one, too. There stood sweet Jeffrey.  I felt so bad that I didn't have one that he would like so I promised him I would make him one. That's when the challenge comes in. Trying to decide on fabric and what would be a great boy quilt that wasn't babyish. This is what I came up with....I think he will like it, don't you?

The backing fabric is by 3 Sisters called Passport. We had just gotten in the shop last week and I knew that was the perfect backing for Jeffrey's quilt. 

I can't wait to give it to him!!

Have a happy and warm Wednesday!!

It is finally finished and I love it!! The quilting took forever on my trusty Juki and my noble walking foot, but it was worth all the time it took. The texture is amazing! 

Stats

Name : Favorite Things 

Pattern: Twisted Irish Chain class on Craftsy.

Size: 80" x 80" ish

Fabrics: Flea Market Fancy and other special fabrics from my stash.

Below are a few of my most favorite blocks...

This fabric came from a blogging friend. I think I remember who it was, but just in case my memory isn't as good as I think it is, I am not saying who. =) I had enough of it to make two blocks for the quilt. 

All ready to cuddle...

Have a happy Wednesday!!

Last week, I began quilting my Favorite Things quilt I made from the Craftsy class Twisted Irish Chain. This quilt seems like it taking forever to get the quilting finished. Partly because I am quilting this one densely so its very slow going and partly because I have been working extra hours at the shop to do inventory. Let me just say, I am so glad that it only happens once a year! 

 I have finished quilting two of the rows and have five more to go. 

Here is a close up of the dense wavy lines. I want the lines to cross and touch occasionally. 

And a view of the back...

Cannot wait to have this one finished! =)
