Quilt for 2

For my boy's 2nd birthday, I made him this quilt. I had a hard time picking out the right fabric and quilt pattern because most quilting stuff looks girly. But I finally decided on this sort of random looking pattern.
Things I learned making this quilt:
  • Sheets make great quilt backs- especially when you buy them at Goodwill for $6! Cheapest quilt back I ever hear of and there are no seems!
  • When you have extra backing fabric, fold it over to look like edging-- so much easier. I actually sewed it over once on the back and once on the front and you really can't tell that it is just the backing.
  • Quilting with 2 colors (yellow and orange) is fun.
  • piecing together the batting is really easy and make it cheaper!
