This is my first time posting and I just thought I would share with you the quilt I made for my husband. We went to Las Vegas and drove route 66 to the grand canyon, we stopped in a small town and we went into a quilt store and he bought me 9 yards of route 66 fabric, said he wanted a quilt. I used two of the three different fabric and had to order more of the blue fabric to be able to finish his quilt. Now he wants me to make him one that is flat..go figure.

Impressive!

Great job! I've only made a very small biscuit quilt & it's very time consuming, tell him he's so special he got the deluxe model first.

Looks great!

karenm36 07-19-2011 06:39 AM

It's awesome! I was just lying in bed this morning, thinking about making a puffy quilt. . .

MelodyWB 07-19-2011 06:49 AM

GREAT QUILT !!

auntpiggylpn 07-19-2011 06:57 AM

Did you use those plastic clips to hold the puffs?

katieranch 07-19-2011 07:07 AM

Was the quilt store in Williams, AZ? Quilter's Mercantile? I used to work there, it is my LQS!

Wow a puff quilt...they are soooo neat...great job. :thumbup:

lslaton 07-19-2011 07:58 AM

no I don't know anything about the plastic clips. I sewed each puff together by hand. Very time consuming, but happy with results.

lslaton 07-19-2011 07:59 AM

Yes that was the place. They have so many beautiful fabric.

Mariposa 07-19-2011 07:59 AM

Oh my heavens. What a sweet thing of you do do for your husband. You must have had a wonderful trip for him to want a memory quilt of it.

lyndad 07-19-2011 12:22 PM

I just bought the directions for making a biscuit quilt, I really like yours. It is time consuming, great job!

Krystyna 07-20-2011 02:57 AM

What a funny guy your husband is! I love that quilt. It looks so comfy, but there's no figuring men. Maybe he doesn't like a bumpy road?
