Happy Boy!
Here's my happy boy with his new train quilt - all finished, including his name and year written on the back with a pigma pen!
The blue fuzzy fabric was hard to sew, but I managed with my walking foot and a bigger seam allowance. And - it made things a bit crooked... It won't win any "awards", but it sure wins a special spot in Little Boy's heart, which is really all that matters anyway! I stitched in the ditch along the outside of the novelty panel - just enough stitching to hold it together straight for washing.
Even though I didn't like the blue fabric (except it is ever so soft) - it was worth the effort - he loves it! Look at that smile!!!
More info: The final border is maybe a velour? Not sure! The backing is flannel.

He has every reason to be happy! What a cute quilt--and just the right size! Well done!
Oh my - what a gorgeous smile to go along with a sweet little (growing) boy and his new acquisition. What type of 'fuzzy' fabric did you back it with?
That IS a Happy Little Boy! Is that stuff Minkee? I keep seeing it in the quilting catalogs but never have seen it in person.
What a very happy little boy. He is so cute and very proud of his new quilt. He is lucky to have a mommy like you. You can never spoil with to much love.
the quilt has won an award were it mattered, in the heart of the person who commissioned the work :-)
This is a great picture from your little boy!! He look so happy with his new quilt
Wow what a happy little boy!
Aww, he's really growing. It seems like when I first started seeing him on your blog, he was just a toddler, now he looks more 'boy' lol
Little Boy certainly loves his quilt. What a great momma you are!
his happiness is the best award of all!
