Will’s preschool class made their own Brown Bear, Brown Bear book this fall, so when we were at a fabric shop a few months ago and Will saw this fabric, he wanted it desperately. I bought it and planned on working to sew it up in a way that would still be a bit modern, but there were always prettier fabrics to work with and I kept delaying. I realized last week that if I just sewed it up in strips and didn’t try to make it pretty to ME, Will would get his quilt a lot sooner and be just as happy with it. I’m so glad I finished it for him, but I wish I’d done it a few months ago. 3 months is eons to a 5 year old!
It’s backed with minkie and serged instead of bound–serging is my new favorite binding on anything backed with minkie or fleece!
Mary - I have done that type of quick thing with Scooby Doo fabric. For some reason my children do not appreciate a twin size double hourglass as much as a scooby doo wholecloth quilt – go figure!
Fran - Super cute! Look how happy he is! So adorable…
