It’s done! Luke’s Lion Quilt.

I started it awhile back, sharing photos on Instagram as I went along. If you want to follow me on IG my screen name is woollypetals. My inspiration quilt as I shared before was this wonderful lion quilt from Knotty Bits. Her quilt is amazing.

I started with the idea that I wanted to do something similar with printed strips of fabric for the mane.  Once I got all the pieces sen together I loved the ragged edges and how that looked so I decided to hand stitch all the edges down. Definitely took awhile, but I LOVE the way it turned out.  I added a border because I wanted it to be a nice size for when he moves to a toddler bed size.

I quilted the mane with the pebble stitch, and did rays out from the edge of the mane. I also did some straight lines on the face. I used a simple navy and white thrift sheet for the back, and a gray and white houndstooth for the binding. It may be my favorite quilt I have ever made. It is so fun.

Something so fun too, I was perusing a Gap online sale and found the pjs below on sale. How perfect are they? I should probably buy them in every size so he has some to match for several years. ;) Okay…well that may be overkill. But the matching makes me a bit giddy.

Has anybody made a special quilt for there little ones? I would love to see it.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
