I Need Some Advice For A Graduation Quilt Please
I have a grandson who will be a high school senior this coming fall. His school colors are gray and maroon. School mascot is a cardinal. His favorite colors are green, white and blue. The only sport that he likes is auto racing. He loves electronics and technology.He has been working in a greenhouse during the summer. I would some how like to tie of these things together in a graduation quilt for him.
I am open to any advice and ideas that you all can give me. Also, what would be the right size quilt to make for him. My grandson is over 6ft tall.

I made this USC quilt for a friend of my DH. It is just a center square (6inches finshed, I think) with a 2 inch border. (add seam allowance as needed) for a 8 inch block. The center with the logo was just double the pieced block size. I got the idea from a Quiltmaker pattern:
I changed the nine patches to the block with a border. The logo was scanned from the fabric, enlarged, traced onto WonderUnder with paper and made into a fusible applique. That quilt turned out big! Hope this gives you an idea.
