My friend asked me if I could make her a Minion quilt for her friend's son who had a brain tumor removed. I looked everywhere locally for minion fabric. The only one I could find was this blue background fabric at Hobby Lobby. So I bought one yard and brought it home and drew my own large Minion on craft paper. Here he is trying on his clothes.
I bought the cuddle type fabric for his body. Here he is trying it out.
Minion ironed to background fabric with his paper prototype.
I got all the edges stitched down. I used a fancy stitch for the jeans so it would be bold.
He can see!
All quilted and bound.
Trying to be adorable. His overalls are a little baggy.
The back of the quilt. I used a nuts and bolts pattern from Urban Elements I think. It came with my long arm. I cropped out the Minion so he wouldn't get run over with the quilting.
Close up of quilt design. This kind of mimics the logo on his overalls pocket.
Oh my gosh, this is just adorable! What little boy wouldn't love a quilt with a giant minion on it?! How smart to buy the fabric and use one of the little minions to make a pattern. Delightful quilt!
