I like the idea of adding to it from time to time.

The magnet idea is a great one!

OMGosh! How would I do that? I love it!! I'll have to think about it, just bind an opening in the middle!!!
Great idea!
How about a door/window, that opens up and he can put his hand right thru the whole quilt to the other side! :)
Great idea!

Another ideas I had today when reading another thread, include a strip of prairie points to fiddle with. Or other 3D things, such as flying geese, pinwheels, or flowers (maybe not so boy-ish?)

some rick rack, some chenille, some silky, velvet, corduroy, flannel, lots of texture and sparkle.
That's what I was thinking ... and then have a flap that lifts up on one or both sides. Or do a double opening, like french doors? It could be held closed via velcro, snaps, magnets, buttons, etc.

Corky .... how LARGE is this becoming now? :)
I'm now picturing this growing to the extent that Little six foot Johnny is taking it off to University to cover his oversized bed! :)
