Panda has been asking for a Lego quilt for a long time. I finally got around to making him one. I cut all of the bricks out at 4.5 by 8.5 inches so we could play with them on my design wall. I decided that I could cut some of them down to 4.5 by 4.5 inches after we decided on a layout.
Both Panda and Monkey had fun putting them up on my design wall. Here are some of the layouts we tried.
 |
| Vertical stacks. |
 |
| Random |
 |
| Horizontal rows with extra purple. |
 |
| Horizontal rows with extra blue. |
To make it look more like Legos, I quilted it with a two inch clam shell ruler. I used a Hera Marker every inch to make it easier to match the clam shells into circles.
I rotated the quilt after each row of clam shells so that I was always quilting from left to right.
I think Panda is going to like it.

All Lego lovers are going to love that one; the quilting is brilliant, well done!!
ReplyDeleteI've been looking at Lego quilts lately, but I was unsure how to easily quilt them. I like your clam shell ruler. It worked very well. Your quilt looks great!
ReplyDeleteI love the layout your chose, but especially the quilting! That is perfection. Wow, now *I* want a lego quilt, haha!
ReplyDeleteThat is so cute! The quilting really makes the quilt. I'd like to see a video using that clam shell ruler. It looks like the perfect quilting tool.
ReplyDeleteIt looks great! The boys did a great job with color placement and your quilting really finishes it beautifully!
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome! That quilting is perfect to make lego blocks! Great colors too!
ReplyDeleteThat quilting really makes the whole quilt! It was a beautiful, colourful and fun quilt before the quilting, but with the quilting it is obviously a LEGO quilt!
ReplyDeleteThe quilting is perfect! It's a fabulous Lego quilt!!!
ReplyDeleteLove this quilt! And the quilting...OMG! This is fabulous....
ReplyDeleteThanks, Pat! I love how the quilting turned out. (Even if the circles are spaced out on real Legos.)
