This is the finished road quilt for my grandsons 3rd birthday. I hope that he plays with it for a long time. DH says he will pass it to his boys too. Who knows? I made sure to match the fabrics to the building so the church has a parking lot all around it with woods in the back. The school is surrounded by children playing The barn has a creek with pussy willows growing in it. & Grayson's house is surrounded by dogs & cars & trees. Each block connects with the chartreuse & the cobblestone driveway. It was a lot of fun to make & I did it for the most part kind of like quilt as you go.

This is a wonderful road quilt for the little guy to play on. Like how you placed the house blocks facing in like on a city street and thought out each block with fabric patterns he can relate to.

Don't you just love saying the word Chartreuse? Love this colour and all of the blocks are so significant in your grandson's life. Well done Loralye, you're a star. Love Chris
