Her Favorite Things

We've a family friend in her twenties who loves her Converse.  She'll be visiting us next month and I wanted to make her something special.


This young lady is in a wheelchair so I've sized the quilt so that she can tuck it around her while in the chair.  I plan to put flannel on the back to make it extra cozy.


I love paper piecing and really had to force myself to stop making blocks once I had 6 of them.  I kept finding fabric in my stash thinking that it would make such a great color for a sneaker.

The Converse block pattern is from Kristy @ Quiet Play.


Have a wonderful day! Patty

  3. I have a quilt that was made with paper pieced high top sneakers, but it doesn't look like what you've just done; I may have to try this one, too. Your shoes are adorable - very 'Spring'like and feminine looking.
