Girl Scout Quilts (Gold Award) Ideas,Fabric or Pattern Suggestions
Good Morning, I am searching for any ideas for a quilt for my granddaughter. She has achieved the Gold Award (which is the same as Eagle for boys) Oh My, I can't seem to find Girl Scout Fabric that is not cookies. Any ideas, pictures,etc. I am suffering brain freeze on this. Thanks so much

When I made an eagle quilt for my son's Eagle award, I went with colors. At that time the only Scout fabric was for cub scouts. I wanted a quilt that would celebrate his achievement but also be useful later. Maybe a special quilt in her favorite colors would be used longer than an actual Girl Scout Quilt.

what an honor and a quilt will be perfect to recognize her hard work. I too would go with colors instead of GS fabrics--they are often too cutsy. one of my guild members makes "story" quilts for all her kids and g-kids--she usually goes with a log cabin block that she appliques, embroiders, or uses military or Scout patchs in the centers to represent an achievement, etc.

On the back each GS signed a block and wrote a message. Hope this helps and good luck!

When I made my son's Eagle Scout Quilt, I used his t-shirts that he had from camp, etc. (His first Tiger Cub shirt I just cut along the sides so it was a one layer applique in the shape of a shirt.) I then embroidered the eagle badge and several eagles, some with flags. At that time there were not boy scout fabrics available. I also embroidered his name and the date. You might be able to make a collage of her t-shirts, badges, etc. Congratulations!
