Carson's quilt

This is my grandson Carson's quilt.  I purchased the materials to make this quilt just after he was born (in May 2014) and never actually started on it until a couple of weeks ago.  My sister Irene gave me a pattern that she explained would be simple and quick.  I proceeded to put off the creating since it still seemed beyond my abilities.  Finally I decided that I better get it to him before he turns two and I started and finished the quilt in about 3 days with the help of Irene who talked me through the process.  It was actually as simple as she had told me it would be.  Someday I may learn to listen.

  1. Oh, I love it! What a great job you did and what a wonderful treasure for Carson. Of course, he won't even appreciate it until later but you've made a beautiful heirloom. Or blankie...

  2. well I tried 4 times to post from my phone but "Nada" so now I'm home.....and I agree with Irene....you did a wonderful job and now since this is your 2nd quilt you are a "seasoned Veteran of quilting". I love the colors you chose and you should be proud of the beautiful thing you created for that precious little boy!
