Quilt
Yay!!! My first quilt ever is FINISHED! This is a quilt I made using a Denyse Schmidt pattern from this book. I changed it a bit by making the stripes go horizontally- mainly because I wanted to give it a road-like feel since the theme of the quilt was traffic. All of the fabric for the quilt was bought in Japan including my favorites- the fabulous Nani Iro black and white striped pieces. All the little vehicles were hand embroidered and the quilt was machine quilted. The fabric on the reverse side is some New York City themed fabric that I found at the City Quilter in Manhattan.
I love it because I’ve really been wanting to make a quilt for Nico that he’d really like but that at the same time, wouldn’t make me want to vomit up Disney characters everytime I look at it. I think this is a good compromise. You can see more pictures of the quilt on my flickr.

AWESOME! How long did it take you from start to finish?
Just think, Nico will have this the rest of his life. I think its great.

Excellent quilt. It is nice to see a child’s quilt that isn’t overly childish (like said Disney Quilts).
Love the little vehicles! Very nice.
