Thomas & Friends Quilt

 

They're 2, they're 4, they're 6, they're 8

Shunting trucks and hauling freight

Red & green & brown & blue

They're a really useful crew

I find myself singing this all the time!  My 2 year old LOVES Thomas and as a bribe (yes I admit to bribing my kid...bad habit!) to make it through a trip to the fabric store I bought a 1/2 yard of some Thomas fabric. I had no idea what I would make from it...maybe a pillowcase or bag or something.  Well somehow I decided to make it into a blanket...pillowcase would have been much easier & quicker!

This little blanket turned out pretty good (don't look too close!) and my son LOVES it!  Here are some details:

PS - He picked out the yellow satin trim!  He loves yellow.  I tried to convince him to choose a nice mellow light blue- oh well, it's his blanket!

Here's the back- got this fabric, believe it our not, from Walmart! 

Can you see the star design I sewed?

Here's an example of how it's not perfect.  I am HORRIBLE at corners for trim & bias tape! 

I feel like it was a success because it didn't fall apart when I washed it, haha!
