I made one as a Christmas gift for my dad and he loved it. Wish I had a picture to post because I was very plased with it too. The best part was that when I started the project all I had were measurements, no clue as to how I was going to make it. Oh, I sarted the project the Christmas Eve morning expecting to present it to him that night. Somehow I finished it and we both loved how it turned out.
Mine was similiar to yours, I used his favorite colors and quilted it. Made my dad very happy.
They do make a nice gift. Especiall when the person you're giving it to has asked for a chiar cover and you can't buy them.
