Superhero Babies

Anthony's classroom has a new kitchen to pretend play.

Inside the kitchen, there is a baby doll bed.

Anthony LOVES babies, and he loves baby dolls.

It seemed like a quilt for those babies was in order.

I found some leftover quilt blocks from a year ago, paired them with the leftover gray half-square triangle blocks, and made the front.

Pretty quick process.

I went downstairs to find a good fabric for the back.

I was going to do a simple blue, but then I saw a superhero scrap and thought it would be fun to put together a superhero/character back.

This took more time, but it was so fun to do!

I made Anthony a quilt for Christmas last year that I didn't finish.

It has blocks with superheros and characters on it.  But, the layout in my mind is NOT what the actual layout represented.

So, I have yet to finish it.  I think I'll be adding more like this on it, and maybe actually finish it this year...

We practiced with Woody the night before Anthony brought it to school.

I think the quilt measured about 16" x 20" or so.

Helping Cure Childhood Cancer

**I'm extending this until 5pm, Pacific Time, on October 2.

We've been so busy and so I haven't had a chance to post about the quilt again.**

In honor of #childhoodcancerawareness month, I made this quilt to raise funds for research of supporting organizations.

For every $5 you donate, you get an entry for this quilt (like a raffle).

This is my childhood cancer warrior/survivor, Anthony!

We're always grateful for his chance to survive and thrive now.

Yet, childhood cancer has forever tainted our viewpoint.

For example, while helping at Anthony's school this morning, I MARVELED at how all the children had hair, and were healthy.

Totally different scene than when we walked the halls of Seattle Children's while on the cancer unit.

 This is the back, and the colors are more buttery yellow than this.

 I pieced and sewed the quilt together.

My wonderful friend, Sylvia, quilted the loop-de-loop and leaf design on it.  :)
