Theme of Quilt

Below is a listing of theme choices that we feel will have enough pattern choices for the stitchers. We do try and fill special requests when we can, but those requests must be approved in advance. Please pick 3 possible themes you would like and put them in preferred order. We will use only ONE of the requested themes for your child's quilt! We will try and fulfil your first request if possible, but please know that we may approve one of the others. This might occur if there is over use of the theme for that year (makes it hard to get stitchers to sign up) Please fill in all 3 spaces from the themes listed below.

Please look over this listing carefully before making your choices.

If possible, please pick only one....unless you are combining two similar themes... eg Heroes and Patriotic together.

Please remember to enter your theme choices in the spaces provided below.

  • Angels
  • Animals - soft (animals you would want to snuggle)
  • Animals - specific (pick a common animal such as cats/kittens, dog/puppies, horses, pigs etc)
  • Animals - Wild/Jungle (please list a few of the child's favourite animals)
  • Balloons
  • Birds (can be soft for girls or masculine, such as eagles or hawks for boys)
  • Cartoon Characters (Scooby Doo, Spongebob, Looney Tunes, Disney etc)
  • Clowns
  • Dance (like ballet, tap, cheerleading...anything related to dance)
  • Dolls
  • Enchanted World (Dragons, Castles, wizards, unicorns etc)
  • Farms (not just animals, but anything farm related)
  • Flowers (could be general or specific eg "Roses" or "Daisies")
  • Flowers with butterflies and dragonflies
  • Foods 'fun foods'
  • Hearts (will have hearts in it somewhere, will include other girly things)
  • Heroes (such as firemen, paramedics, policemen etc)

  • Patriotic Theme (any pattern that celebrates us as British)

  • Wild West (would include all the following and more...Horses, Hunting dogs, Oregon trail, Indians, Cowboys, Cowgirls...anything that would look like the Old West.
  • World Landmarks - famous places/flags from around the world
  • A colour theme (this theme is where the pattern has to have the colour in it somewhere but can be any pattern. They turn out really cute. Please pick a main colour such as pink or blue etc)
