My mom's been busy making a bunch of NICU quilts. All but one of the following quilts started off with my sister having her grandkids over for a sleepover. During this time, one of the activities everyone did was colouring fabric blocks. The designs for the blocks were traced from a kids colouring book.
Later, the blocks were given to my mom, who then set the crayon with an iron and added borders. There's not much else to say about them, so I'll just let you enjoy them.
Something to keep in your thoughts if you are looking for a fun activities to do with grandkids. I don't know anyone who doesn't like colouring. These blocks were all assembled into a NICU quilt, but once I assembled some into pillows for each of the kids who coloured two blocks. One for the pillow and one for a charity quilt. The kids treasured their pillow for a long time.
This next NICU quilt was a quilt that my mom did to use up some strings. These quilts are cute! You can choose whatever colour crayons you want. This one was made in colours suitable for a boy. Quilts for boys is more often needed.
The crayons were made at the last HHQG retreat, as my mom didn't need the lesson of assembling a quilt that was being held for beginners or anyone looking to learn some tricks of the trade. The coloured blocks were made a couple of years ago and just recently given to my mom to do something with.
Take care everyone.
