Cars Quilt

Saturday, May 31, 2025

Some years ago, I bought a Cars panel and coordinating fabric at a local quilt shop (which has since closed, sad face) to make a themed quilt for my son. I also got some additional coordinating Cars fabric on Etsy to have enough for a quilt. 

When I finally finished making it about five years ago, I was a little afraid that since it took me so long, he outgrew the theme, but he still seemed to like it and used the quilt regularly for a time. He's 10 now and his tastes have changed, but I still wanted to post this for documenting my finished makes!


Size:

Roughly throw size

Fabric:

Top and binding - quilting cotton
Batting - anti-pill fleece
Backing - minky

Notes:

  • I went for a pretty simple design - all squares around the panel.
  • I did somehow miscalculate the space around the panel, so I had to fill in some gaps with a solid cotton.
  • I also did stitch-in-the-ditch quilting and did machine binding.
