Quilt for my g'son
 

I know y'all can help. I am looking for a scrappy pattern for my 3yr old g'son. I don't want a child's pattern. I can't do appliqué. I have made a quilt for all my g'kids picking a pattern that will see him/her into their later years. It can be made using anywhere from 2 to 30 different fabrics. The size can be from a throw to king size. I'm in my 70’s and so I probably won't be around when he is an adult. I want him to have something made especially for him which is what I did with my other g'kids. That is why I won't use one of my previous patterns.

There are so many patterns to choose from. Tartan has already mention Falling Charms. I have made tow charity quilts using the free pattern Warm Wishes found on the Quiltmaker website. A picture was posted a day or so ago using that pattern that was a very cute quilt. Then there are the old standbys of D9P or Yellow Brick Road. Good Luck

Thank you. I'll look them up.

I thought of Falling Charms. Just wanted to see if anyone had a better suggestion.

When my grandmother was making quilts for all the grandchildren, all the boys got Rail Fence done in 4 colors. Many of those quilts are still in use 30 years later.

there is a pattern called Simply Woven at the moda bakeshop for free. it might work for you. If you google moda bakeshop, you will find all kinds of free patterns

This one would be a good one for scraps and for a boy http://happyvalleyquilter.blogspot.c...-all-buzz.html

Well, don't claim that "won't be around when he is an adult". You may be around when he is old. Who knows.

How about Bonnie Hunter's scrappy mountain majesty. Not too hard and looks great in guy colors. I'm thinking of making one for my son.
I also am making quilts for when I'm not around. We all want to be remembered.

My Grandmother had a closet-full of beautiful quilts. As each of the 17 grandkids were about to get married, we got to dig through all of those quilts and pick one that would be special to us. I don't have any grandkids yet, but I have made it a tradition to make a quilt for each of my great nieces and nephews over the years. Just finished one for my GREAT GREAT niece!

Missouri Star Quilt Company has many great tutorials. I've made so many of her quilts and loved all of them. I just finished making the disappearing pinwheel 2. It's the one that looks like a churn dash block with a pinwheel in the center. Really turned out nice. Good luck!
