Birthday present for the boy next door

I always think homemade gifts are the most fun to give.  When our neighbor invited us for her sons birthday I new just the right present to make. He loved cars and most importantly he loved matbox cars and racing them around them anywhere he could.

I used some Thomas the Train fabric from Quilting Treasures and made him a car holder that when unrolled became a race track.  It has 6 wide 2.5 inch slots for the cars and a ribbon to tie it all together.  I even personalized it with his initial.

It was perfect for this little guy who was turning two.  His mom said it was great to bring along for long car rides and playdates too.  I couldn't agree more!
