This is a timely question. I'm making a quilt for my niece's 10 year old foster son whom they are trying to adopt this year. I'm in CA and they live in GA so I haven't met the boy. All I know about him is that he likes camping and fishing, so I'm making that as theme for the quilt. For the backing I was thinking about making a simple landscape of the sky and sun on the top 1/4th, and green on the bottom 3/4ths with a watch face appliqued on it, then put these instructions in a pocket: "This is a secret Navy Seal method to make an improvised compass. It uses your watch and works anywhere in the Northern Hemisphere. Simply take your watch off and point the hour hand at the sun. Now imagine a line halfway between the hour hand and the 12:00 position. In the Northern Hemisphere that line is south, and opposite that direction is north." I imagine little boys like secrets. I haven't figured out how to incorporate a pocket in the grassy area yet. Maybe I'll get some inspiration here.
