Remember this quilt top from way back when? Like, back to October?! Well, I have finally finished my 3 year old little boy's quilt. His sister got one before he did. Here was the top from back in October.
AND... here is the completed quilt! The Eli Tower Quilt. I made this completely from my stash, designed it myself and used fabric he would recognize which he thinks is super fun. This would look awesome with a designer jelly roll and some Kona Snow... ;)
The Specs
43x46
Kona Medium Grey
Bound in Kona... I think Royal.
Random fabrics from my stash, denim, sheets and flannel.
Straight line quilted with a walking foot on my Viking.
Batting is Warm and Natural.Here is is pointing out his favorite part.
Here is the back. This was a twin top sheet.
You can see there in the middle some of the imperfection in the straight line quilting until I came up with a better strategy.
Another view.
Here was the original plan... How do you think my vision turned out?

Great quilt! It looks just like your drawn design - well done!
I think it looks great. Your pattern is wonderful and I like the colors - the blue binding looks perfect with the gray fabric.
That is such a great design for a boy! Or a girl. Ok, I just like the pattern. :)
(Sorry...I had just commented but it was on the wrong account. I just started trying to separate my personal and quilting blogs a bit more.)
Great job! I like the color choices. I finished my first quilt and hosting a quilt linky party. Feel free to link up!

Very nice! Your little guy will enjoy this for years to come. I love that you made it all from your stash and fabric he already recognizes!
