After the 5K day we gave Jahn his new quilt. He is going to be 9 in September and I figured he was old enough for a big boy quilt, rather than a little boy I Spy quilt. He is very interested in the solar system and I found this fabulous fabric of planets.
Close up of one log cabin block . . .
The top on the bed - colors are not great, the pale part is really blue . . .
Here is Jahn and his quilt in the parking lot of the 5K race - colors are much truer.
It was a great day and Jahn loved his new quilt.
How neat! Loved this! What a cool quilt :-)
