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...

Great work. Just stipple quilting all over - you make it sound so easy! And I love the labels.

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...

How sweet-what a great idea-this way they have a "special" quilt whenever they leave home-won't take long for them to be their favorite must have travel quilts

You 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

I think they are real nice. Your niece picked great fabric out also. Kids love to have something like this to cuddle up with in the car when they are traveling/Lillian

A 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 :)
