Henry's Big Bed Quilt
Just before Christmas our household did a major bed shuffle. The girls moved from cribs to youth beds and Henry moved from a youth bed to a double bed. If you can imagine this inspired lots of cleaning and organizing and re-arranging. And, it has created a to do list for when I have more time. I had the girls youth bed quilts ready to go (see my last post). The fabrics had been gathered for Henry's next quilt. Tractors are included, of course.
I gathered my inspiration book, some graph paper and Henry's new colored pencils. Having written quilt instructions for nearly 20 years I like to get things sorted out before I start cutting.
I did a few test blocks to work out the pressing, then took off cutting and sewing.
The graphic pattern that forms when blocks are turned is wonderful. I think Henry will be able to use those squares as his fields and roads when he's playing farmer.

I am a little jealous of your graph paper. Sometimes it seems so easy to use a computer program to design and create beautiful quilts. The wonderful thing about paper is it will never experience complete mechanical failure!
