I made one like this for our Grandsons graduation. I put his favoriate football team fabric and our family pictures in it for him. He is 6'8" and a big football player himself (now in the Army). He takes it every where; says it is the warmest cover he has ever has. This pattern is easy to do and its a sew as you go. This next one I am collecting for is going to be with a green cordory background and animal picture fabric. I used a thin cotton fabric under the center squares because it is a heavy quilt in denim and cordory. Have fun making your quilts. Love the quilting board!!!!!!!!!!
