Vincent’s Quilt 2001 |
I originally saw this pattern in a finished quilt at an LQS during the 2001 Southern California Quilter’s Run, and I also ran across a similar pattern in a quilting magazine. I liked it so much that I decided to make it for one of my CASA kids. However, as I worked on the quilt, my 10-year-old DS#2 said he liked it … and when I finished it, I gave it to him.
The center of each block is made from a novelty print and is twisted. The border is a race car print on a blue background; the sashing is a small-checkered print. I used “Warm & Natural” batting to make sure it keeps him warm.
This is the first quilt I made for DS#2. I hope he enjoys and treasures it forever. BTW, he’s the one holding up the quilt and those are his feet peeking from under the quilt!
I love you, my son!
Nine years later, DS#2 is 19 years old and is 6 ft. tall! He’s growing up into a handsome young man, and we are very proud of him. His next quilt will have to be a TALL size!
