Over the years, I've been making a bed quilt for each of my grandchildren. Jack was my youngest grandchild (although I now have two more and most likely another one!). Jack is 8 years old and shares a room with his brother so I wanted to match the quilts somewhat. I have a lot of blue, red and black fabrics, so I decided to do a plus sign quilt in those colours.

| These sheep were in honour of his other Grandma who dyes wool and does a lot of knitting and weaving. |

Chris Bogart did the quilt and put some dog paws on the quilt ☺

Alex's Quilt
So, I realized as I was writing about Jack's quilt and putting a link in for reference to Alex's Quilt that I'd never blogged about his quilt! Yikes. I finished this one in April of 2021! Better late than never I guess. I did a One Block Wonder pattern for Alex using this fabric:
It had words, diagrams, receipts, etc. on it which was quite fascinating. I had purchased with the idea of doing a OBW - one of those "I wonder if this would work" types of fabrics. It worked very well and produced some very interesting blocks for the background. I made large cubes for this quilt and used Kona Pacific blue for sashings and borders using some of the original fabrics in panels at the top.
