Mateo's Quilt

Still don't have a card reader for the camera, and I haven't been very crafty in the last few weeks. So another older project...

This is a picture book themed quilt for my cousin Mateo, masterminded by my mother and aunt. We unveiled it at his baby shower. He's a disgustingly cute little boy, as you can see at their family blog.

The Lorax square, the first in the second row, is mine. The truffula trees are fleece applique'd on, and the trunks and the lorax are embroidered. The last square in the second row is an applique job by my mother based on "Everybody Poops." She also did the first square in the third row, based on an obscure and beautifully illustrated picture book, "Grandfather Twilight." It's a gorgeous applique. I'll try to find an individual picture of it, the details are really gorgeous. The middle square in the third row is my grandmother's rendition of The Very Hungry Caterpillar.

The quilt was pieced by my mom and quilted by my aunt. You can't see in the picture, but the border has names of contributors embroidered into it.
