...Boys Cot/Pram/Car Quilt with 'Cars' Theme


Hooray!! My Cars quilt is finished!!



Last Christmas I received a sewing machine from my Mum. At the time, I didn't really know how to sew. I'd done a bit at high school, and my aunty Mez and I used to do a lot of projects on the holidays, but I had little to no confidence in my sewing abilities. One of the first projects I did when I received my machine was....wait for it.... a quilt.

Yes, I am insane

So, was it just in my circle of friends, or was last year 'Year of the Baby' for everyone?
Seriously! I could count about 20 people I knew last year having babies. Crazy!
So-year of the baby last year =Year of the One-Year-Olds this year, which means lots and lots of little prezzies for bubbas!

You may have noticed so far that I'm a bit of a girly girl (No, really?!) and having a little girl myself, it makes it very easy to get carried away with pretty colours and florals and the like continually-and I am aware of this!
So when a little boy's birthday pops up, I am suddenly quite lost! Does he like pastels? How about a lovely floral dress for the little man.
Nope
I need to man up and find something masculine.

Here's where Friday's task comes in.

...Boys Cot/Pram/Car Quilt with Disney's Cars Theme

Alright, this project is going to take a smidge longer than a few hours so I'll be doing this post in stages!

When I was pregnant, we didn't find out if Ava was a boy or a girl, so I made so many different combinations of colours and styles-girly, gender neutral etc. I've also made a few as gifts for little bubbies that have come along the way.
