I have made over 30 interactive quilts for various babies and families. Thuglet loves the one he has been using since birth. I am happy to say those little quilts really hold up to the daily use of a baby. Spit up and weekly washings and that little blanket is still going strong! It has taken over 6 months but I have finally made Thuglet his own interactive baby quilt. I changed the design a little bit to make it work with his name.

It was so exciting to go the Rosie's and pick out fabric for his personal quilt. For my little man's quilt I went with the ninjas, bicycles, pirates and owls. Under the G is a giraffe, the R is a robot, the E is an elephant, the A is an anchor and the T is a train. All so cute and so boyish!! Thuglet loves oil cloth and minkie so I doubled up on those for his textured fabrics. Even the back is cute, a combo of ninjas and bikes!
I was excited to get back in the saddle again. My sewing machine was getting dusty and feeling neglected. It took about 6 hours, but the finished product was worth it. He loves his new quilt and I love being able to make things for my lovely boy. It sits in his crib and I love how he rubs his face on it and scratches to feel the different textures.
