I collected some scriptures and prayers and printed them onto iron-on transfer paper to sew into the quilt so he'll be all snuggled up in prayers and the Word of God
In true S4J fashion, I forgot to flip the print during printing, so they all printed backwards. Good thing no one will see them but me. Well, and you.
Also in true S4J fashion, I broke a cardinal rule of quilting (or if it isn't a cardinal rule, it should be. If you're a quilter and you think it shouldn't be, then maybe it should be just for me) I cut the Scripture strips on top of my finished quilt top......
Here is the finished quilt.
Folded over so you can see the brown bear flannel on the back. So snuggly, soft and warm.
Now I need a chiropractor.

Totally awesome idea to wrap him up in the Word of God!! Great job, Granny S4J!
so impressed by your skills, creativity, and diligence.
may that there quilt fill its purpose- to communicate love & say things that words just can't right now.
that is cool! I guess quilting runs in the blood. hehe. Well the crafty part is hereditary anyways so it seems!
You are aware you did "say" Granny??!!
Awesome act of grannyness (is that a word?) hmmm it is now!!
Darling! I've made that type of mistake and about 3 million more...I remind myself that the Amish make a mistake on purpose on their quilts to remind them that only God is perfect. Perhaps that's just your Amish coming out.
I am SO IMPRESSED. You rock in yet another way!
Fabulous quilt! Wow...for a first try, that thing looks professional!
Skillz, woman. Really good granny skillz.
The scripture thing was a GREAT idea, too.
