From crib set to twin quilt

A long-time friend presented a new challenge when she asked me to tackle transforming her crib set into a quilt for her, now, big girl. This is what I got in the mail.

She really still liked the colors and patterns and wanted to change it over for the transition. First task was deconstruction.  This ended up being a little more time-consuming than I anticipated. So, when it didn't come apart easily, I had to take time here and there when I had it. This picture is me working at the park while my four year old was playing. (It took about two weeks less than a year to complete.) 
But, it's finished!  Just in time for me to start the quilt for my new addition, sweet Abram!  That's what I am most excited about.  Now that my project "slate" is clean, I get to work on fun boy stuff! 

I decided to use the leftover sheet to make a matching pillowcase.   



This is what Jonas has been working on while mom sewed. 
It's a monster trap. Maybe I will get a picture of the quilt on the bed at some point.
