    I was actually trying to recreate a quilt my DGM made for me,(yrs ago) it was a scrappy that has been loved to death. I keep it put away cause it is falling apart and my DH keeps finding it and using it sit under on the couch. I finally told him that quilt does not belong in the livingroom now put it away. So I figured I better make him one. It was a nice surprise to see the design.
    Have fun making this one. I found it quick and easy to cut but now let's see if I can get all those seams lined up as close as possible.

    PS I hope this makes sense. LOL. Not good at giving instructions at all.

    GREAT Job!!

    That's what it's all about....the fun, adventure and satisfaction when we "love It".

    Quilts for men (what pattern; what fabrics???) are tough.

    This quilt really hit the mark.

    Here is the progress I have made so far. I got the 4 squares sewed together and placed them on the fabric I am gonna use for the sashing. It is a navy blue. I feel short 1 block but I can make it work any way. There is also 1 block that the colors don't match up very well. Give me a few minutes to get the pic's down loaded.

    The blue just made it better. It really shows off the blocks and brings it all together. Great Job, again!!!!
