Caleb has had his new big boy bed for a while now, and he has not had a real bed spread to go with it. So, I commissioned my Grandmother to make him a quilt. I found a quilt in Pottery Barn Kids that I liked and my mother and I went to fabric stores to get the material. This was my inspiration:
Actually, the picture I had seen is no longer available but this one comes close. I liked the plaids in the blues, reds, and greens. On the quilt I had seen, it had a wide border of blue (or was it red?) and it had thick stitching in a coordinating color. I took these components and and asked my sweet grandmother if she'd make a quilt for Caleb . She accepted. After many months of patiently waiting, the quilt is finished and is now gracing my boy's bed. Here it is in action!
I am so pleased with it! It is better than what I had seen and turned out perfect! So, I must give a great big Thank you to my grandmother, she is the best!
And now Caleb's room is complete. The curtians have been hung, the pictures up and now the quilt! Perfect. Absolutely perfect!

I love the quilt! She did an amazing job!
Super cute! And even though it was less expensive, it's way more valuable than something from PBK!
That is great! What a super grandmother, she did a fabulous job. I love the colors, too. Plaids are so fun.
What a special gift! I have a quilt a cousin made for me as a wedding gift. I hardly want to use it 'cause I don't want anything to happen to it. I love Caleb's new quilt.
Awww..I think it looks great and looks like Caleb is one happy BIG boy!!!
I love the quilt on his big boy bed and and love that little boy tooooooo much!
Grandma
