My last finished project is this cute little squirrel quilt.  The squirrels are made of flannel, the background is Moda Grunge and the best part; the backing is Shannon Cuddle fabric.

My youngest grandson got a new big boy bed, which means he needs a new quilt.  His bigger brothers both have deer quilts I made for them a few years ago, so I wanted something that was woodsy.  I also wanted to make this quilt bright.  That is how Squirrels Abound came to be.

I had part of a flannel layer cake left over from another project, and a few different colors of Grunge for the background.  Now to draw a squirrel.

Just a simple drawing.  Two piece pattern, the squirrel and his tail.

 

 

No doubt this quilt will be washed often, so I stitched around each squirrel before putting the quilt blocks together.

I started to layout the blocks on the floor in my living room, then my dog came in so I had move them to my bed.

Squared it up after quilting.  Don’t know if you can really see from this photo, but that backing makes this a messy job.

 I love how it turned out.  I never got a better photo because he took it home the day I got the binding on.  Already being loved every night.
