Beautiful Boy Quilts in Liberty Fabrics — Handmade Quilts for the SOS Project

Before we took the Quilt SOS quilts off to Lithuania, we photographed these beautiful boy quilts made from gorgeous Liberty fabrics. From animal designs to geometric childrens quilt patterns, our charity boy quilts came in a wonderful variety of styles perfect for quilting for boys of all ages — each one made with love by our amazing patchwork kids quilts contributors.

The patterns for the animals (except badger) are taken from an Elizabeth Hartman design called Fancy Forrest.

We put all of the boy quilts together as we had such a wonderful number of them this year. Many of these gorgeous quilts are suitable for both younger boys and teenagers. I will do a separate post on the teenage boy quilts to give some inspiration for the 2018 project. These beautiful boys quilts have come through in such a wide variety of wonderful patterns and designs.  Each will be cherished by its new owner.  The quilt in the backdrop below was made by Cynthia Cozens.  The design is taken from the Magic Lantern Quilt by Lynne Edwards.

We loved stacking all of the quilts up into groups to see how many we had.  This helped enormously with planning how we would distribute the quilts and was lots of fun to see them all together.

The beautiful boy quilts came in such a variety of patterns.  Many of them were blue as you can see, but in each case, the quilt maker had put their own individual style into the finished quilt design.

I will be launching the new Quilt SOS project for 2018 in January.  Find out more about the project here.

Have a lovely Christmas and a sewing filled New Year!
