My cousin has a grandson who is all about trains these days. he is almost 3. He also has train conductor pajamas, so a train quilt for nap time seemed appropriate.
It is 36x41. A bit small, but I think it will get drug around a lot.
There were only 20 machine embroidery designs, so I added some train fabric for rows between.
Would have been nice if the designers had put the track in the design with the cars. ... it was a challenge to have it separately.
I went around the embroidery, and sometimes through part of it ... and put wavy lines across.
The blue borders got a square free form design.
Backing and binding were the same fabric as the front.
I used Glide Hawaiian Blue and Silver for the top; Bottom Line Statue for the bobbin.
I have the pocket quilt for his sister, and they will go out in the mail on Monday. These are the kids who got the play food a few weeks ago. Now I have 2 little girls to make something for. I need a plan....they are both under 2.
