Jaxon's John Deere Quilt


My very first nephew on the May side of the family is turning 1 in a few weeks. His birthday party is going to be a John Deere tractor theme and so I made him-- what else? -- a John Deere quilt!
I loved this quilt by Crazy Mom Quilts and used her measurements to create my own pattern. It was a really fun quilt to make. And for the first time I used contrasting thread, instead of white. The green thread looks great on the white backing. And of course, gotta love the stripey binding.


Happy Birthday, Jax!
