Love these quilted nesting blocks that Oh, Fransson! had a tutorial for on Sew, Mama, Sew! last year. I always wanted to try them.
I'm not going to say it was a quick project at all. These three little buggers took over four hours to make, plus hand stitching the tops closed. For me, that's a pretty long project. But these are worth it.
A little present for my new nephew for Christmas.
At first I thought it wouldn't really be that fun of a present for him, but after I sat there sewing and interfacing for so long, I think they'll be fun for him. I know how kids love stacking and filling boxes, hey, this could be hours of fun for him when he's ready. Of course for now they'll be perfect for storing odds and ends. Nice!
These are really cool. I get to work in our church's nursery, and we have cardboard stacking boxes that the kids love. I'm sure these will be well loved.
ReplyDeleteSo very cute! They came out great! And if he is anything like my daughters with stacking and unstacking, he will love them!
ReplyDeleteThese are too cute!:) I remember when my daughter loved putting in and taking out items over and over....haha! He'll love them- especially since they're from his auntie!!:)
ReplyDeleteThose will look great in G's room!
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to pop in and say that 1. love the block/boxes. They turned out way cute. And 2. Can I just say how refreshing it is to hear that a project like this took awhile to make? Sometimes in blogland it seems like people are out there whipping stuff up in a few nanoseconds. It's nice to know that isn't always the case. AND I love that even though these took awhile, they're totally worth it!
ReplyDeleteI love the fabrics you used. Baskets are a must when you have kids. There are so many great uses for them.

ReplyDeleteI love the playful design of that cross. Fun & Practical - totally a winner of a gift. And, yes, it's nice to hear that someone else takes awhile on a project like this.
