The highway to happiness for every two year old...

Close ups of the boats/ships that I included inside a tube with the quilt. My recipient already had many cars for the road.

       There is absolutely no two year old known to mankind that would not love his or her very own car playmat! And these, are sew easy for mom or dad to put together in approximately five minutes, as long as they have access to a sewing machine and two yards of fun, printed fabric!

       Just turn the right sides together and sew a straight stitch around the outside edges leaving a three inch opening. Turn the mat inside out so that the right sides (finished printed sides) are showing and sew the three inch opening shut with an invisible stitch.

       Iron the mat flat and then sew a few lines of quilting all the way across the top of the mat from one end to it's opposite side in order to add strength to the mat.

       Roll up the finished car mat with a tube of tiny ships and cars for play, using a wide satin ribbon to hold the package together. Give it to your favorite two-four year old!

I created a grid with a few quilted top stitches across the surface of my mat to give it strength.
 One side of my mat is for roads, the other for boats. I used 2 yards of fabric for the project.
