Travel Quilts...My niece asked me to make some small snuggle quilts for her three kiddles..to take with them in the car and on vacations..nothing fancy, she just wanted something simple...so I made these whole cloth quilts for them..they are about 42" x 42" give or take...she picked out the fabrics and I did the quilts...just stipple quilting all over...and then I made the labels for them...hope they like them...I know they will get a lot of use...

49866014A really sweet idea! When I road-trip with my grandkids, I always throw blankets and pillows in the van for them, but I like this idea so much better ... no disagreements over which blanket belongs to which kiddo :)

145791You Americans have such lovely print fabrics. I'm always amazed at the beautiful designs. Great work on the stippling by the way. The quilts are such a good size for little ones too.
Kim, may I ask where you saw that label design, or is it your own? Love Chris

Thanks...I use Warm & Natural...it washes up so nicely time after time...and the more it is washed, the softer and snugglier it becomes...
23281Great work. Just stipple quilting all over - you make it sound so easy! And I love the labels.
