Boy Wall Art


I have been meaning to make a little bit more wall art for Silas's room for forever {you can see the room before here}.  I bought this print and then had the colors customized to Silas's bedding.  But it needed something quilty too...  So I finally decided on little quilted pictures in matching black frames.


I cut out his three favorite trucks from Peak Hour by Kellie Wulfsohn for Riley Blake, and fused Heat N Bond Ultra to the back, then trimmed close to the edge.


I then fused it on top of a selection of 1 14" strips cut from the fat quarters that will eventually be his big boy bed quilt!


The only problem...he wants to play with them instead of look at them {he already broke the frame stand off the fire truck!}.


But, it really makes his room look a little more put together. And he's sleeping in the twin bed now {as evidenced by the rail}, there was a little too much bouncing on the crib mattress going on, I was afraid he might hurt himself! And even though this picture is a bit blurry, it was the best I could do indoors with a busy little boy.

So, at the rate I'm moving, it looks like their room should be completely together about the time we pack up and move next summer!  Oh well, at lest everything will be ready for the next house!

  1. They look great.

    Saw some quilted wall art this weekend. They had mounted quilted blocks on canvas frames. Very cool looking. Although I have no idea how the cost of frames compairs to the cost of stretched cancases.

    1. The canvas sounds really neat! These were $3 frames from Target, so they were super cheap, I'm not really sure what canvases run...but now I'm itching to try it out!

  11. What a great room Lucky Silas. Maybe you could cut out 3 more trucks, and backing and sew them together with a little stuffing-Then Silas would be able to play with them and just admire the ones on the wall.
