Car Seat Cover for Baby Darin

Today I finished up a new project--a Car Seat Cover. After hearing my sister talk about how a blanket over the carseat fell off or made the handle slippery, I thought I'd try to whip up one of these.

I used a fun monkey print for the outside and did a bright and colorful car print on the inside with velcro straps. I thought if he was awake that would give him something stimulating to look at.

Here's a shot of the quilt top and the back, which was a red minky dot fabric. I quilted on the chevrons and was very happy with how it came out.

 

 And yes, she bought both!
