Making a Quilt for a Grandchild – The Quilt Ladies

Quilt Block Pattern for Grand #1

This is my original post from The Quilt Ladies Site about the process of making a quilt for Grand #1.

Can’t get photo’s to move to the center?!?! Maybe moving from one to other? But…here is the quilt block pattern for you, I have used this quilt block and it’s HERE for you  to make

Grand One’s Bedroom is Blue, with space things. I’m not doing planets. So it’s a bit of blue, red and a tan background.

I always start with a pattern, I have a software program, but for years I used graph paper. The size, the block, borders and binding, all right in front of me, usually doing the sections for a couple of blocks at a time.

I don’t like cutting yards of material and then putting one block together and then not liking it.
Plus I need to see the end result.
 
I know no one will notice, but this is the same pattern as his first baby quilt 6 years ago. That one was hand quilted, this one will be tied as I know how it will be loved, washed and washed.

I have the blocks finished and I’m going to get them all put together and off of the sewing room.
