Caleb's Strippy Quilt

Caleb-5 is the grandson of my friend, Betty. He had cancer and is now doing very well. He likes frogs. So I decided he needed a quilt. I had made strippy quilts for my grandchildren and great-grandchildren . They are rugged and versatile and he can lay with his dog, build a tent city, as little boys like to do, and it will not harm it. It can be thrown in the laundry and drier. I sew the binding on and do a fancy stitch on the front. This quilt is every mom's dream!!...you do not have to be careful with it. Except for the sun!! It is cotton and will bleach out easily. I did a meandering stitch on my short-arm quilter.
If you would like to see pics and read Caleb's story it is on my other blog.
