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
Very cute! I just love Kristy's patterns.
ReplyDeleteThat is amazing Patty! I'm betting she will love it.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful gift to have ready to give. One of my favorite aspects of converse shoes are the fun, bright colors they have!
