The Wheels on the Bus, my Chookshed Challenge for January, is done. Number 6 was chosen for January, and it was tucked away in this plastic crate, numbered and ready to go. My number 6 was a rescued duvet cover featuring transportation and I thought it would make a great donation quilt for a boy.
Challenges for the year, all numbered and waiting their turn
The cover needed a red border, I decided. Once that was done it was all ready for pinning the layers together. This was achieved one sunny afternoon sitting at the patio table outside in the fresh air.
"I'm so comfy".
Our weather has been wonderful, just a little too hot some days, so I decided to sit outside and stitch down the quilt binding. It was much too hot on the patio so I took a chair to the back of the house and sat in the shade to do my stitching. Gemma came too, and her way of beating the heat was to hunker down in the rhubarb patch.

A fantastic finish. Good of you to think of the boys too.
Great finish Jenny. xx
That has turned out so well. A fantastic use of the fabric. Perfect for a boy. Gemma is being a good quilt inspector and supervisor.
Fabulous #6 finish and it will be treasured by some little boy.
Love that Serpentine Stitch. 😀👍
Gemma’s got the right idea to keep cool.
What a lovely finish on your boy's quilt!! The red border is just perfect.
you are so hot there and we are really cold...we've had snow on the ground for almost 3 weeks--not usual here... Hoping for a bit of warmth this coming week hugs, Julierose
A little boy will be delighted with this quilt! Great job, Jenny!
Cute quilt! Kudos to you for doing quilts with the little guys in mind!
That's such a happy quilt!
I have always found it harder to plan a boy quilt vs a girl quilt. So many fabrics do seemed more girly
Very fun looking boy's quilt--that one will surely bring smiles to whoever gets it--Nice job--and I love Gemma!!! hugs, di
This is so nice, Jenny! Like you, I think boys are too-often overlooked. Maybe I'm more aware because of having four grandsons, but I definitely "think boy" when I'm intentionally making a quilt to donate. Yours is very attractive and will appeal to some lucky fella.
Yes!!! The boys donation quilt looks awesome. Looking forward to next months challenge to finish.
God bless.
Great upcyling Jenny. A little boy is going to love it!
I love how this quilt turned out. You are such a talented lady.
I think of you often and do hope that you're hanging in there and doing okay sometimes life is really hard. God bless you.
Wonderful finish Jenny, and good of you to think of a boy. You are right most quilts seem to be geared towards girls. Your cat knows the best places to be.
You really have made the most of that duvet covet. I think the quilt you have made looks great. A lovely finish.
