    Isn't it great when they want a new quilt. My ten year old is working on his own quilt with me and his brother. We are going to do three. One for each of them and one for Daddy.

    I made this one for my 14 year old son about 6 months ago.. He drove me CRAZY until it was done. He loves it but wants another wolf one with the Blue Panels so he can alternate them. I think it is Great that our young children love them.

    It's wonderful to make quilts for our kids, but even more enjoyable is seeing them use them and love them. Maybe he would like to pick colors or a theme to help with the quilt. Have fun quilting.

    What a sweet son. There is no better compliment than to have your child ask you to make them a quilt. Get busy girl!
