How hard would it be to replicate some of the ribbons he's won for different skills? If you are lucky enough to have an embroidery machine, you could make a nice one

I made tee shirt quilts for my boys using their scout troop tee shirts and school tee shirts. I added the badges for all the ranks of Boy Scouts including the Eagle badge. Eagle scout is a wonderful thing for the boys to have earned.

I will be trying to make an Eagle Scout quilt for my grandson who is getting close. A year or so ago I ordered some Boy Scout Fabric and I plan to print pictures of him from some of the ceremonies and such that he has participated in. Not sure yet what pattern I will use but I'm leaning towards Warm Wishes. Please show us what you do.

A friend messaged me about your quest. She knew I'd made one quilt for an Eagle Scout and I have plans for a few more. My husband had been Scout master and when I showed him a fabric line with Scout designs a few years ago he had me get some. It's easier to give you the link to my thread about the quilt than it is to post all the pictures for details. Here is the finished quilt. I made it last fall and there are two more boys in the troop ready for their Court of Honor, so I need to get two more done. I'll probably use my same pattern. http://www.quiltingboard.com/picture...t-t234403.html

I checked out Fons and Porter. In your opinion, is that the eagle I'm looking for? I'm thinking it is, with the emblem in the center. I downloaded the pattern anyway.

I made this for my eagle scout. It's a paper piecing pattern.

These are all such wonderful ideas. My late DFIL was a scout master for many years. My husband loved his scout years but stopped short of Eagle Scout.
Thank you SheriR for the fabric link.
