My son is ten. The quilt he has, I made when he went from the crib to a 'big boy' bed. Last night he said to me "Mom, can you make me a new quilt that's bigger?"
He's a tall kid and prob will end up at 6' or so. But I'm so tickled pink that he likes my quilts so much that he wants a new one instead of 'blankets.'

He obviously has great taste! Nothing like a quilt made by your Mom.

that is great, have fun making him a new quilt

are you going to let him pick out the fabrics and pattern for the quilt

How sweet?

That is so cool!

That's great! I get excited every time my DS want to go to the LQS with me :)

Awww, the perfect words to a mother's heart! :)

Isn't that the greatest thing? :) How sweet!

Awww, thanks for sharing with us!! :D

How good is that! Enjoy making his special quilt!

Isn't it great when they want a new quilt. My ten year old is working on his own quilt with me and his brother. We are going to do three. One for each of them and one for Daddy.

He knows how to get to his mom's heart! :)

I made this one for my 14 year old son about 6 months ago.. He drove me CRAZY until it was done. He loves it but wants another wolf one with the Blue Panels so he can alternate them. I think it is Great that our young children love them.

Smart kid

Those are the quilts we love to make the most!

It's wonderful to make quilts for our kids, but even more enjoyable is seeing them use them and love them. Maybe he would like to pick colors or a theme to help with the quilt. Have fun quilting.

What a sweet son. There is no better compliment than to have your child ask you to make them a quilt. Get busy girl!

Thats one project you cant put off lol You will have to show us the quilt when its done - maybe even a pic of him with it!!!

I have two big nephews.When they graduate to a new bed size they want a new quilt from me.It's a good thing. :thumbup: The pattern is by G.E Designs called stripped cocktail

Priceless :)

I love that pattern :)

It's always nice when the men in your life appreciate your work! I had a scrap pineapple paper-pieced quilt that vanished from my house and was found at college-aged son's apartment "I didn't think you'd mind!"

Sweet bet that put a big smile on your face.

Let him help pick out the fabrics or the theam....

I think this is so sweet and so familiar to me. I have made quilts for all my children and grandchildren and now a great-grand child.

The first one I made was for my son and his future bride. They have been married 30 years this year. About 2 years ago, he asked me to make another because the one I made for their marriage quilt was getting thin. That started the ball rolling. Then I made for all my children then the grandchildren. For the grandchildren, I started out with a crib quilt size. Once again, I had a request for another quilt. One granddaughter asked for a bigger quilt as the small one was too small. That started the ball rolling again. I made her a second quilt, then went on down the line and made a larger one for each grandchild. I now have a new grandson, born on Sept. 11, 2011, gave him his crib quilt already and have his top ready for a larger quilt. It is a red, white and blue almost patriotic pattern that he will get for Christmas this year. Now have another great-grandchild, so it's on the way to more family quilts. Not "Ain't we got fun?" from a song of my growing up years, but "Ain't I got fun?" Signed: Happy Gram

He's a keeper----My son is 37 and still won't use a blanket he says their stiff and scratchy. He likes snuggling in his quilts :thumbup:

It's a joy to make quilts when the response is so good.

:thumbup: :)

Ohhh, if you can, work on the quilt for a 10 year old with him. When my grandson was nine he got very interested in the sewing machine and putting a quilt together. He made a tree, with some guidance and suggestions from me (his grandmama) but he did at least half the sewing. We left some pieces ragged and some were smooth seams. I have found out later that boys between about 9 and 13 are very interested in sewing. They love the planning and using the sewing machine. It is a wonderful bonding opportunity. Let every idea he has go into the quilt unless it simply won't work. It will be his treasure forever.
