Lap quilt link ups

This week over at Vals the link up topic is LAP QUILTS.

I have done quite a few lap quilts but I came across this photo of my grandsons watching TV and ready for bed.

They were curled up under my sons quilt and crocheted blanket.

This quilt was my first curved seam quilt and it was all done by hand. I think it was my 3rd quilt I had made. I made this in the year 2000. It was for his 6th birthday.

Unfortunately you can only see the back....

They are always using my quilts and I am so happy to make them, for them to be thrown about and then washed over and over.

Well I thought I'd get out the quilt and take some photos of the front

And here is a close up of the hand quilting. It is in the ditch around all the yellow roads.

I call this quilt ROAD GAMES.

My son used it all the time with his matchbox cars as a play mat and then as a quilt to cuddle under.

Here is another post about this comforting quilt.

OLD QUILT, NEW POST

Today I am linking up with Vals for her Archival Tuesday

This weeks themes are... Boys... BOM... WIP... & FINISHES.

That's a good range to choose from.

Here is my BOY choice. ROAD GAMES

Here is my sons quilt that I made him for his 6th birthday back in 2000.

It was my first curved quilt.

 I hand pieced it as well as hand quilted it.

It was only my 3rd quilt that I had done. I am still very happy with it.

Whenever we went anywhere we would take this quilt and a handful of matchbox cars. Then he always had something to play with and then keep him warm for his nap or on the car trip home.
