Lovey is Max's little tiger buddy. He got him from his auntie after he was born but wasn't really attached to any particular toy until the last few years.
Lovey sleeps in Max's bed and accompanied us to hospital after Max's most recent mishap.
Well I needed to find my long lost quilt mojo, distract Max from anymore daring stunts til current injury healed and at the same time repay Lovey for all his kindness.
In the quest for my Mojo I started sifting through the UFO tub containing Max's Monster Trucks Tote bag...from LAST January.
Working on the bag was all too hard with a bored 6YO and I discovered I simply wasn't keen on the pieced sections I had previously cut out to replace the dainty stitchery on the front of the bag.
I needed to use it up in a way to make best use of the pre-cut fat quarters.
I tried to be discreet when asking max whether Lovey liked cars. Max said Lovey likes computer games better but he likes cars too.
I was inspired by Crafty Pug's quilt for her little boy's favourite toy and the chopped up FQs would be just enough to make a Lovey Sized quilt top!
Max then chose another FQ for the back. Due to the direction of the print, I needed to add a bit of extra fabric to get the size right.
Lovey's quilt measure 16" x 20"...and I can't believe I have a FINISH!!!!
How cute to check with Max what he wanted for Lovey.... well done on the finish... Mojo back??
