So, we searched the web, found the focus fabric and 5 months later, I gave him his quilt during a family party. He took it, laid it out on the floor, made sure all wrinkles were out of it, stood there quietly looking it over, then dove onto it yelling "I love it!". Grabbed a corner and rolled himself up in it and said "Aunti, I'm never coming out of here." So cute and I had a tear in my eye.

The quilt goes from his bed to the LR while he watches TV wrapped in it, and he does the same after dinner, then to bed with him. No one is allowed to use it. I know this quilt will be with him for a lifetime because it is not juvenile looking. I hope he saves it for when he has kids.

I finished the top for his 8 YO brother and now just need to quilt it. He picked his own fabric too. Then the 10 YO wants a Boston Bruin quilt...a real challenge because no fabric exists!
