Awww...such a bright, cheerful quilt! It would be loved by any little boy! You are such a nice Gram! It is so great to have a request...that way you know they really appreciate their special quilts!

very bright and exciting!

Joyous!

I have a 3 year old grandson and he would LOVE this quilt. I may have to "borrow" your idea for my little guy.

Lucky little guy!This looks big boy cuddly!! Get ready to make many quilts for this guy - he knows what he likes!

Please answer about using fleece for the backing - what do you do differently, other than omitting the batting? Does it stretch when you machine quilt it? I really like the idea of using fleece backing for some "novelty fabrics" but don't know the tricks to keep the edges of the fleece in particular from getting wavy. Thank you

Jayne, Bright and cheery is what came to my mind as the picture come up! And to have him ask you to make him another quilt? That had to make your heart jump with joy! A job well done!

Sharon

With great fabric, like that, no wonder he loves them. Good job grandma.

What a very special quilt, I love the bright colors and the fleece can't be beat when it comes to cuddle time.

Thank you. Issac is a very special boy. This is his 3rd. quilt and he loves them all. This if for dragging from bed to downstairs naps.
I only bought the fleece for the back, which I happened on at JoAnnes for 50% off, so got the better quality. In ans. to the question I didn't have any stretching. As my DD was using my basting pins on my star quilt I spray basted and used a few st. pins to bast then maching quilted in the ditch. I machine st. the binding but wont do that again as it didn't turn out as well as when I do it by hand.
I think the fleece is plenty for a 2 layer quilt. Have used it before without a problem. Jayne

It is gorgeous Jayne!! I love the fabric. I can not get my binding machine stitched either. The next quilt I make that is going to be 'loved a lot' I am going to sew the binding on the back and turn it to the front and sew down with a decorative stitch.

I like the way you placed rectangles of the same color with a yellow square at the point to make "v's" facing each other. It pulls the quilt together. Any boy would love it.
