Another quilt, finished today. My third this year. My fifth ever. And of course each one I make is my favourite. Tommy seems as happy as any almost five year old boy is about a blanket and has requested a pillowcase to go with it. I'm tempted to do a union jack...
In other news, our summer weather has been very iffy, but we're working our way steadily through our list.
It looks perfect for a young man.

Oh Lina, it looks wonderful! And yes, a Union Jack would go with it perfectly.

Tommy's quilt is fab! Is it made out of shirts? I have a recollection that that was what you were going to do - I've been collecting shirts from my Dad for about 10 years after seeing a quilt in a magazine long before I really got into sewing properly. Must get it started sometime!

It's gorgeous and so cool for a boy. Every time I say that I am not going to start a quilt because of all the time it takes, I see one of yours and I second guess myself. You have inspired me...maybe!

Lovely quilt, just the kind I hope to make for my son one day, he's only just turned 1 but I'm building up a respectable stash of his old shirts already.
