My Quilt #7 ~ 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 kept 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!

UPDATE:  Eight years later, DS#2 is 19 years old and is almost 6 ft. tall.  He’s grown into a handsome young man, and we are very proud of him.  His next quilt will have to be a TALL size!
