Just as it suddenly became obvious a couple of years earlier that Benjamin needed a “big boy” quilt to take to preschool, Andrew and Dominic also needed the same sort of thing! I had foreseen this, however, when I bought the preprinted panel for Benjamin’s quilt; I’d bought two more of the same panel at the same time. So now those two have become nap quilts for preschool, too. 🙂 The center panels are identical, but I used different border fabrics and quilting motifs. Here is Andrew’s quilt:
Andrew loves big trucks, so the border fabric seemed a good choice for him, and I used variegated thread to do lines of cars and trucks in the red border. It measures about 41″ x 50″.
Dominic’s quilt is similar:
I used the same thread to do rows of five-pointed stars in the border of this one. The quilt measures approximately 41″ x 49″, and both quilts were finished in June, 2004. They were both machine pieced (just adding borders) and machine quilted.
