Yes, I prefer my LQS. But ... this is for a high school grad from our church. I make a quilt for each graduate and this one fell through the cracks. Even his own uncle - who is our youth director - forgot he was graduating. So .. I tried my stash, but nothing felt right. I'm going to make a point of picking up more guy fabs when I find sales. Side Note: I had some great guy fq's, but when I put them together they didn't feel like this young man - they felt like our dear preacher whose 10th anniversary with us will be this fall so ... they certainly couldn't go to this grad! (Anyone know what I mean there... I even started quilting it and told my husband ... this is not Garrett's quilt. It's John's.) So ... the far right fab is the center of a block, framed with the black. The next 3 are borders and the last one is the backing. Paid from $3.94 to $5.44/yd. Off of here and to the cutting board! |
I love the fabrics and the pattern you are doing. One lucky young man!!

That is cool and so masculine.
|
Nice boy selection... Can't wait to see it finished..
|
Yes indeed, fabric combo's take on a personality all on their own. That's part of the fun of it for me.
|
Beautiful fabric!!!!
|
WOW! I really like the fabric you chose....and then seeing the creation....it's a double WOW!!!
He will love it! Hope you're not too stressed by now!! :) |
Love the fabrics! I would not attempt to make each of our graduates a quilt. You are really doing a great gift for them!
|
You have inspired me to make this quilt next! Thanks!
