Elmo Quilt Part 2 of 3

This quilt is brought to you by the letter Image result for elmos and letter J and the #Image result for elmo and number 2

Oh this quilt has been fun and easy to make! Always fun to see a quilt transform from this (Part 1)

...to this, isn't it! 
Elmo and the background are both flannel. I had fun free-motion quilting this one with squiggles, circles and hearts using a rainbow thread. I outlined all the letters and Elmo's body, mouth, neckline and couldn't resist a big heart on his body. (And now that I'm thinking about it, I probably should have quilted around his nose....oh well, it's already in the wash.) I think it will fine. The whole quilt is only 3'x3' and I didn't want the quilting to be too dense as it's just big enough for our two year grand guy to drag around as his cuddle quilt. (Pssst...I even machine sewed the binding on! I know go figure, me the Queen of Hand Binding! LOL!)

As much as he loves Elmo, I think he's also going to love the softness of 
this fleece backing embellished with a BIG #2:
I can't wait for our little guy's birthday party next weekend!
 I know his reaction is going to be priceless, for as many of ya have commently previously, Elmo has been a fav of toddlers since our kids were young.  See his reaction by clicking right here: Elmo Series Part 3 post. (LOL!)
I know, I'm having too much fun today! 
Anyhoo....hubby is working a late shift today, so I'm off to start my Dog Gone Cute blocks.
That's what's going on in my little sewing world. So glad ya stop by!

    What a cute Elmo quilt! He will adore it! We have a grand sweetie, Olivia, just turned 1 in July, who also adores Elmo! I have made her several Elmo items. Tickle me Elmo we gave on her first Christmas was the beginning! Our DIL says that is when Olivia fell in love with Elmo! ;-)

    Oh my gosh, my little 6-month old granddaughter is in love with Elmo (as I have been for 32 years), and it never even occurred to me to make a quilt with him on it for her. This is darling, your grandson is going to love it! Thanks so much for the inspiration.
