I had some blocks already sewn up from the last volleyball quilt I made, so I handed them to him and told him to design his own quilt. He loved that the blocks stuck to my wall and had a great time moving them around.
This little monkey has a tendency to get distracted and bounced out of the room more than he was in, but he got all the pieces on the wall and was really proud of himself.
It's finished and ready for him to be wrapped up in and snuggled by all of us who love him so much.
Now, it's back to what consumes
most of my free time...
and I love it!

ReplyDeleteWho can resist such lovely brown eyes! What fun you two had! You gave him more than a great gift.
ReplyDeleteI love that he designed it himself, he's gorgeous and so's the quilt :)
ReplyDeleteAw, those big brown eyes are irresistible and then to hear he's "been waiting since he was four"... he would have me wrapped around his little finger. ;o)
ReplyDeleteLOVE the quilt you made together! I bet not only will he use this all the time, he will treasure the memory of making it with you as he grows up. You're the best, grandma!
I love the way he has designed this, thanks for sharing. I am always involving my grandkids into a project and this would be fun to add to the cookie party I host for them every year.. What a simple and loving way to make a quilt. Its fun and colorful and I love a childs eye on everything..
ReplyDeleteHe has been waiting since he was 4 ...what kind of grandma are you.....i think one who can whip up a very cool quilt in the middle of a few hops ..wow...
