Holden's Drawings Quilt

by Melissa
(Portland, OR)

This quilt, made for my then 3-year-old son, was inspired by his sweet drawings. The drawings were transferred and then hand-embroidered onto linen (inspired by Soulemama).

The blocks consist of a mixture of scraps which he helped pick out: some chocolate lollipop, a few michael millers, some fresh cuts and one yummy print called ginger blossom that I adore.

It measures 42 by 42 inches, machine pieced and quilted, the binding is hand sewn. I especially enjoyed embroidering his drawings, tracing the lines of his inventive little creations.
