I got my Pokemon Quilt all finished this week! And I got it washed and wrapped up and now it is sitting under the tree waiting until Christmas!
I love how this turned out. There is just enough Pokemon characters to make it a Pokemon quilt, but not too many that it can grow with my boy. Pokemon is not my favorite thing, so this gift is a huge deal - I think he has been asking for it for a couple of years now!
I stuck with bright colors to go with all the bright characters in Pokemon. I backed it with minky fabric because that seems to be the favorite of all my kids right now - and who doesn't love a nice soft warm quilt backing!? I used the same red and white stripe for the binding that I used on my super hero quilt.
I quilted it with straight lines, and I like how simple and nice it looks. It ended up being just larger than twin size.
My Pokemon fabric only gave me a couple of different characters to use, so we used all of them twice!
Now I am off to finished up some other Christmas presents and house cleaning because today our temperatures are supposed to make it to 3!! Too cold to go outside!
Enjoy!
Sharing over at Quilt story, Freshly Pieced, Crazy Mom Quilts, Confessions of a fabric addict, and I have to say.
I love it! It looks awesome. If I have to do a character quilt I am calling you for directions of how you did this. And hearing how "warm" you are supposed to be makes me think I can't complain about my temp although I think it is too cold anytime it can't get to 30.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great quilt! My daughter loves minky, too, but I hate sewing the polyester. The sacrifices we make as moms :)
