Blogger's Quilt Festival - Lego Quilt

I thought for the Blogger's Quilt Festival, I would share my Lego quilt I made in September
Lego Quilt  
I made this quilt for my nephew who loves Lego!  I searched the web for ideas, but eventually decided on my own idea for the quilt.  I thought, wouldn't it be cute to hand quilt little circles on 'lego blocks' so they puff out?  Cute yes, but lots of work - 289 circles to be quilted!

I had lots of fun doing this quilt and really enjoy all the bright colors.  I even designed a lego man's head for the back and paired it with these adorable owls.
