Patch quilts

I finally finished the travel patch quilts for the kids. I'm so glad Casey wanted to do these, because I don't think I would have had the motivation to do them just for my own children. I did the ones for Bennett and Mallory here (finished them in time for Christmas 2009) and just finished Nate, Lucy, and Levi's this week. I'm not too concerned with the actual quilting (the stitch lines holding the quilt together--see how they aren't perfect on Lucy's?) because it'll eventually all be covered up with patches! So far, the only patch we have is Disneyland (on Nate's and Lucy's), and I have a Camping 2010 patch arriving this week for all 3 kids.




Update to add the following pictures, for which Nate was absolutely not cooperating. Lucy was uncharacteristically cooperative, and Levi was clowning around, as usual. :)

Hi, I'm Casey... said...

Yay for patch quilts. I love them because:
a. They are do-able and easy to keep up on (unlike scrabooking)
b. The patches are cheap!
c. It's a fun tradition at each new place trying to hunt down pathes with the kids.
d. Becasue my BFF made mine for me, of course!!!
Thanks again for selflessly doing mine first. You are the Best!
