Was what I decided to do last Saturday while I was at the camper and so close to LaCrosse (WI). The destination was a small but well appointed little place called River Road Quilt Shop, which is located in the same building as another long-time WI business. Nelson Flag and Display. Lots of samples and a very warm, friendly spot, I managed to pick up the latest BH&G “Sampler” magazine that had just ‘hit’ the stands and some fabric for a little man (about 3 yrs) who just needs a ‘super hero’ quilt. His relationship to me would be probably defined as “step-great-grandson” (definitely more common today than years ago!). The pattern is a free download from Robert Kaufman Fabrics here. I was able to get the main panel and the word/exclamations fabric (at least it will work once I do a bit of slice & dice) and I picked out some binding fabric that is perfect (I think!) but may change by the time I get that far!!! LOL!
That orange fabric (2nd photo, right side of panel) will boost the “bright factor” up another notch for sure!!!!!
So, that’s what is next up………that is, after a few more clients’ quilts!!!!!! Well, it IS something to look forward to putting together, hmmmmmm?????
I think you did an outstanding job and did you know…quilt patterns are begging to be changed!!!
I couldn’t agree more!!! It’s in their DNA (Does Need Adjusting!!!) LOL!
We all need some “down time”; so glad you all were able to go back to the river. I’m in process of re-loading camper for third time..more later. Love that super cute fabric and yes, I saw a sneak-peak of the finished product. See there are some advantageous to being behind in reviewing posts!!! lol
“Super Hero” ready to quilt. Changed the original/Kaufman pattern and it turned out larger (like!)….38″x 51″. Had to leave out a couple of provided blocks….one became my label for the back!
Oh, how perfect for a little boy, Cant wait to see the finished product!
I think it came together well. Check back tomorrow! Looking forward to the quilting!!!! (as always!!!!)
Kabaam! That is fab fabric!
Esther
LOL!!! I thought so, too!!!!!!!
You are going to make one little boy extremely happy.
I do hope so and I found the perfect backing fabric today…..post soon!!! LOL!!!
That is going to be one super hero quilt! I love it! It will be a lot of fun to see it progress into the final piece. Have fun.
Hopefully next week………….. Hugs……….
Ohh that’s going to be “super cute”! I love Nelson Flag, we have bought Christmas ornaments there for many, many years.
