    Default Stars quilt for grandson

    My 14-year-old grandson is shooting up like the proverbial weed. At over 6 feet tall, he's outgrown his Snake Paint quilt from a few years ago, in more ways than one.

    Stars for Bo is made by a pattern in the Fall/Winter 2005 issue of BHG's Quilt Sampler, and is 88" x 105". It was an easy quilt to piece and good for using stash. I'm thinking of making it again, in pastels, for his younger sister. (I apologize for the sun spot--it was either sun in the morning, or wind in the afternoon.)

    Quilted with Glide on my Babylock Tiara and Janome 7700.

    Old quilt, Goodness Snakes:

    That is beautiful. I also am working on a replacement quilt for one of my grandsons who is now 6"4".

    Well the stars are perfect for a young man. But I really like that snake quilt too.

    This young man will enjoy your quilt made just for him a very long time. What a perfect coloration and pattern.

    I bet he won't part with the snake quilt but will love the replacement. You're a good grandma.
