Another quilt with Lori Holt blocks.
COUNTRY BOY is for my sister's grandson, Brooks.
His older brother received one a few years ago .... so fair is fair!
Like his brother's quilt, it's backed with a cozy, repurposed flannel sheet.
Ivy, my helper for the day. Ivy has her own quilt, kind of similar to this one.
Several Farm Girl books were used. I love that you can mix and match the blocks to personalize.
Some closeups:
So many pieces to the scarecrow, I couldn't imagine doing the 6" version.
Ivy has a 12" scarecrow in her quilt too, they are fun to make.
The snout and udder are pinker than they look here.
I thought about leaving a tassel on the tail... maybe on the next cute cow.
I did the hand quilting mostly with regular Guitermann hand quilting thread, but did use some perle cotton thread here and there.
I think there is a Fall / Pumpkin quilt in my future.... love the flat pumpkin!
Ok, I cheated on a few things as usual, this time on the horse blanket, going with a checked fabric instead of piecing tiny 1 inch squares.
Linking up here with CAN I GET A WHOOP WHOOP!
