My youngest son requested a Jeep quilt for a friend's baby boy who is expected to make an appearance this month. The friend owns a white Jeep. I had made my son a red Jeep quilt, as he owns one. I adapted the Off-Road quilt pattern by Seriously I Think It Needs Stitches - Kelli Fannin Quilt Designs. This is the 3rd Jeep quilt that I have made but the only baby quilt out of those three. I used a darker background so the white Jeep would show up. I added silver metallic thread to the headlights & front of the hood/grill area. The quilt is approximately 49" x 49" and backed with a cuddle soft flannel.
I machine quilted an edge to edge pantograph called Nuts & Bolts from Urban Elementz. I love the way it turned out. I machine bound the quilt using a decorative stitch. My hands just wouldn't have lasted completing a hand binding this week. I like the overall look!
I call this one Beep Beep Jeep.
I hope the parents appreciate the gift.
