boy quilts

I don't get to spend much time with my Janome, but when I do find time I like to sew up something fast & simple. 
That way I feel like I've accomplished something BIG!
I sewed up this little baby boy quilt for a friend. 
It's called "Speedy Baby" and you can find it on the Quilt Taffy blog. 
(thanks, Des, for creating it.)

   
Mine finished out at 40" x 40". 
I quilted double bubbles all over it. 
Super cute!

 
My son (hi Riley) mentioned he needed a warm quilt. 
I love making quilts for my kids.
So I grabbed 20 fat quarters, trimmed them all the same size, and sewed them together,
5 across 4 down.
I ended up with an 88" x 88" quilt. 
I used brushed woven's for the top and backing - and I put poly batting inside to make it poofy. 
(guys like poofy)
I'll call it: "Speedy Adult".

 
(the sun was shining on the photo above, then it went behind a cloud on the photo below - ugh)
I quilted a simple all-over wave.
Super easy!

 
Super speedy!

  7. Your products have a variety of colors. You have very good hands. I am currently trading in Japanese cosmetics. You can visit Vietnam. You can buy a khẩu trang nhật bản. You can also add vòng huyết áp for daily use.

  8. What size did you end up cutting the fat quarters to make the squares? I like the idea of big squares for my next quilt. Thank you!
