When my youngest nephew was born, his parents named him Max and I made him a quilt! This quilt was fun to make because of all of its bright colors. The design was kind of like a zipper, although I cannot remember the name of it and I sort of made it up as I went along.
The quilt was sewn together with lines across each row and down the middle and side of each square. It really made it obvious how crooked the quilt was at the end! I still think it turned out pretty well. The back, as usual, was just some leftover pieces from the front that I sewed together.
I am happy that he liked it. He is now two years old. I noticed today while getting this picture that I only have one quilt left to talk about. Looks like I need to get started on making another one! And I have a few other ideas to share about as well!

I really like how you made the back out of the leftover pieces from the front! Great way to not end up with a mountain of scraps...maybe I should steal that idea ;)

Your work is beautiful, it's much harder than my embroidery. To sew such a blanket you must apply a lot of patience, effort and time. You umnichka.

I love that pattern! I made a large thick quilt for my son to use as a play mat, but the squares were about 8"x8" and there was no pattern, just different batik squares. I don't think I could get my act together enough to make something that regular. None of my corners matched up!
Anyway - love it!

Lol - Yeah, it takes practice and manipulation to get the corners to line up. :)

Yes, it’s time for more quilts! 😊
This one is really pretty and unusual in the pattern. I really like it!

Thanks! :) Yes, I definitely need to get one going! :) I need to make one and send it to my newest niece when my parents come to visit next month! That's probably the one I need to work on first! Ha

This is a Fun one!! It reminds me of putting a puzzle together! I always like the colors you choose for the boys...those bright blue and oranges!
Oh yes! I guess it’s that time to get working on some new ones!!! That’s how I felt when I ran out of my crochet archives...it was time to start anew!!! 😉 Looking forward to seeing the other projects you are working on too~

I need to do one for my newest niece and send it when my parents come to visit next month. Hopefully I can get one planned and finished before then. :) I always wanted to dress my baby boys in bright colors, but it was hard to find anything like that at the stores. Light blue and green... ;)

I think I will have to make you make and ship it to me to Croatia one day. You really do a great job making these. I have seen I believe 3-4 different ones you made in your posts and all of them were great.
And, yes you should start making another one for your basketball Railoraod cop guy from Croatia. :P

Good idea! I'll just put a stamp on it and put the address as: Duro, Croatia. I'm sure it will arrive at your doorstep. ;)

I really like the bold designs and colours, and the backing is interesting, too. I love the idea of heritage quilts and each one made for a specisl person.

Lol - yeah, I have at least 3 quilt tops waiting to be sewn together. Then I have at least 3 ideas in my head. Hopefully I can get started on them soon.
