My brother has recently become a grandfather! We just won't say what that makes me......shhh! Anyway, when we were at his home last summer to bury mom, I saw the preparations for the baby shower and absconded with one of the napkins. Since we live so far away, we all knew I wasn't going to the shower, so I guess having a 'souvenier' didn't seem odd to any of them. My newphews wife said that the baby's room was going to be blue and tan and that they were going with a cars and trucks/transportation type theme. The napkin was a train. You quilters know what I am getting at, I made an enlarged version of the napkin into a crib quilt. I did make a few changes, but basically, I think it looks a whole lot like the napkin. I'm about halfway thru the quilting.

What an adorable quilt!
You did an excellent job translating the motif on the napkin to the quilt. It's wicked cute!
This is great. What a clever idea and your version of the napkin is wonderful
Extremely adorable and innovative.
I love it.
Oh, how cute! Using that napkin was a great idea!
Congratulations on your grandaunt-ness, although lots of people around here call them great-aunts. You can decide if you want to be grand or great!
What a fabulous idea to take the idea from the napkin. I'm sure they will be surprised and thrilled.
What a great idea! I'm sure the quilt will be well loved.
Thanks great blog.
