Grandsons Birthday quilt

I bought in 2001 in Alaska a kit of bright flannel strips for a quick row quilt. Since my grand son is having a birthday in August and he has outgrown his baby quilts I thought it was a good idea to make him a new one. 

I came up wit a quick design to use the precut strips, and realized after I started that not all strips were the same size, one was  6 3/4 and one only 6 1/4 .

                                              

 So I cut the blocks into a rectangles and not into a squares. 

Trimming the blocks.

I added some orange sashing,  the same fabric is on the back. I was lucky to have some bright green flannel for the borders.

I quilted loops and bubbles in the center of the quilt.

I did this in the border, which was hard for me I had to remind myself which way the turrets were going down the sides. My left and right brain do not always get along, lol!

I am sure my grand son will love it, it is very soft. I used a Dream Orient batting , which makes the quilt  so cuddly.
