Another friend is having a baby and so this called for another quilt. (never mind the 4 nephews I haven’t made quilts for yet) This friend sent out her baby shower invites with a plane on them and I just knew I wanted to make an airplane quilt pattern. She is being induced a bit early, and I am a bit of a procrastinator so I had to make the quilt quickly. I am happy to report I was able to make the whole quilt in one afternoon and evening. I love a quick project.

For the instructions for the quilt, I made this the same way I do all my applique quilts. You can see more detailed instructions here on this post. (or here) Shown here is the quilt with everything cut out and edges pressed under. I was just laying it out to get a feel for the spacing. I opted to add clouds to the background. These are not in the template, but I also just cut out some free hand cloud shapes.
As usual I quilted straight lines because I don’t have a long arm quilter and it’s just easier. (we will just ignore the side of the quilt that wrinkled up a bit because after a wash you won’t even notice, I am happily an imperfect quilter)
