New Wheels for the Little Man

I've been sewing up a storm lately in an attempt to tackle my WIP list. I finished this quilt for my little man the other day. He was crawling all over it pointing out the cars and bikes to me, then he kept trying to pick them up off the quilt. Too cute! He's happily cuddled under it tonight, snug as a bug in his crib.
