BEEP!
2:12 PM
A few months ago, I made a quilt out of this fabric line called On Our Way from RBD. Perfect for little boys, or the engine loving little girl. ;) Or a VW bus/transportation/peace-love-sunshine fan of any age. It was a big hit with my son and his friends (and their moms).
I just hadn't had a chance to blog about it. We've had so much death in the family lately. Blah! A few weeks after my MIL passed, my FIL's last living brother passed as well. And then a couple of weeks ago, my uncle, my dad's youngest brother passed away. :(
Anyway..trying to press on and get my mojo back.
Here it is all done. I finally uploaded the pattern into my Craftsy shop. And someone is making it already! I can't wait to see! And she is making it for her daughter so I can't wait to see her fabric choices and how it turns out. :)
I used the large print for the cornerstones and had just enough fabric left to piece a scrappy backing. I used the leftover stripes for the binding.
RBD took this one to hang in their booth in the fall so Pat quilted it for me, and look what she did.. I feel like such a loser quilter when I see the stuff she does!
And it always fits the theme of the quilt, too! Little peace signs and hippie flowers, my favorite flower design!
And I don't know if you can see it, but she quilted "peace and love" into the license plate!!
Here's a photo of my mom friends holding it up at one of their houses so I could take a pic of it. (every mom needs a mom posse-ha!) :) It was a hit with the little boys, but my son has already staked a claim on this one. He will never let me give it away! But it is super easy to make and I will get these ladies hooked on sewing one of these days!
Happy Tuesday! :)
