    Default Quilt for my son at Christmas
    Couldn't wait to give my son this quilt for Christmas! I picked out fabric that reminded me of him—cookies, snowmobiling, John Deere, pizza, hamburger, mac & cheese, college, high school, sheep, fishing, 4H, FFA, gear head, basketball, golf, and smart. Lots of symbolism in this quilt too! Corn borders represent Fall harvest, brown minky backing for a field of Spring dirt, green grass border is for Summer, whole quilt is for Winter warmth, the blue squares were cut from his worn out blue jeans. I used some of his T-shirts, did some appliqué, the quilting in the corn border is for his ‘straight corn rows”. I didn’t make a traditional T-shirt quilt because all his T-shirts are Fleet Farm! Can you tell I have a son who loves to farm?! I love this quilt and I think he likes it too!
