This one went to a young boy that recently turned 11 and lives in Maryland.
Dog and cat fabrics were used on the front -- here's a full view:
Here's a close up of one of the blocks. The small blocks in the sashing were from the same fabrics as the large blocks. . .I think it will be fun to try to find which little blocks belong to the bigger blocks.
On the back I used a length of football fabric with some mottled orange on the two sides to make the quilt backing large enough.
I'll have to find the pattern so I can post the name of it here. The pattern was very easy to follow and the piecing wasn't difficult; but I think I would cut more little squares of fabrics not in the large blocks so that it will be easier to not have the same fabrics next to each other (which was the problem that I had when I was nearing the bottom of the quilt.
I machine quilted it with white thread using a meander patternboard pattern.
There are two more quilts that I plan on making for other birthdays. . . . I'll be using a different pattern so there will be more eye candy later on.
In peace and pieces,

Is it the pattern called Slideshow by Atkinson Designs? I have been thinking of making one of these with a layer cake I have and that pattern looks a lot like your quilt...what a great little boys quilt!
Lovely colorway for Slideshow. I was looking forward to seeing your Bowls with Borders...
