Nathan's quilt

I got to deliver this quilt to little Nathan this weekend - it was so much fun to see the joy on his face when he realized that this quilt was for him!  Big brother Caleb and big sister Emma LOVE their quilts, so Nathan was thrilled to have one of his own.  Right away he lay down on the couch and demanded, "Cover up!"  I am so glad that he likes it, and his little "I love you, An Dewey" (Aunt Julie) was a priceless thank you!  It was fun to see Caleb and Emma's well-loved quilts too.

Nathan's quilt is pieced from 4-inch blocks in blue, green, yellow and white.  There are star prints, stripes, plaids, and ginghams, and the back and border are blue flannel.  Several of the fabrics are from Caleb's quilt (and some of them have also made an appearance in Noah's, Evan's, and Matt's) their quilts are quite similar, but still individuals, like brothers. =)

Elijah tested it out for me - he said it was cozy.

Me, Jackie, Emma (and her quilt), Caleb (and his quilt), and Nathan with his new quilt!

Finn's quilt

This is my son Finn's quilt, which was finished in August, 2012.  The theme in his room is firetrucks.  The quilt is made of large blocks of firetruck prints, stripes, ginghams and plaids, with denim blue sashing and red plaid borders.  The back and binding are solid red.  It uses many of the same colors from Elijah's quilt - red, denim blues, and yellow - since we are using all the same bedding, etc. My mom did a lot of sewing when she visited to help me get this quilt done!
