Batman or Superman?

What kind of hero do you feel like being today?  Superman?


or Batman?


It's reversible...see?


The Batman side of the quilt is the Just Can't Cut It pattern which is always a go-to pattern for me and is great for fabric that you don't want to cut up too small.  It also goes together pretty fast and that's is always a plus, especially on a full size bed quilt like this one.



The Superman side was largely based on Faith's Echino Squared quilt.  She always has the best ideas and her blog is fabulous.  She's a very creative and talented woman who always has something great that she's working on.



This quilt is going to make one little 4 year old boy very happy.  Cameron LOVES superheros so I was especially happy to get to make this quilt for him.  The quilt is reversible so he can switch it around any way he wants depending on who he's pretending to be for that minute/hour/day.  It changes so frequently, you know.  I hope he gets a lot of use out of this and keeps it forever!  It was made with love, that's for sure.

A big thanks goes out to The Grandmomma for doing such a wonderful job on the quilting.  She wasn't too thrilled about it being reversible but she made it work and it looks fantastic!  Thank you! 

Have a good weekend everybody!

WiP Wednesday - Superman edition

Happy WiP Wednesday!

Now that school is out for the summer I feel like such a weight has been lifted off my shoulders. I don't have to rush to meet the school bus and I don't have to pack any lunches. Yeah! 10 weeks off! That makes me so happy.

I was able to finish the Batman side of the Superhero quilt. I think it turned out pretty cute.

I'm working on the Superman side now. This side is a little more tedious but I'm lovin' it so far. I think I like it because I like Superman better than I do Batman. Batman kind of gets on my nerves. You know, 'cause he's real and all.

I was able to sew a lot yesterday. I was really on a roll. Call me butter 'cause I'm on a roll! I think I said that to myself about 100 times while I was sewing yesterday. Things were just clicking along.

I can't wait to finish this and I hope it turns out the way I have it pictured in my head. I'm going to put one big fussy cut square of Superman himself right in the middle. I think it will be so cute!


I'm linking up to Lee who has a guest blogger today. Wip Wednesday is over at Don't Call Me Betsy this week. I see she is starting a quiltalong that I need to go check out! Might be my next new project.
