My grandson is heading off to college in just a few weeks. This college is up North and gets pretty cold during the winter. Does anyone have a quick quilt idea for a college bound boy?

Take Five made out of flannel.

A rag quilt all made of flannel!!

I like the rag quilt idea. Gather up all his old jeans and flannel shirts from mom. You could then even put W&N between, but realize that between the jeans and flannel it'll be very weighty.

I love the rag quilt idea, and flannel is so soft and warm!

I made this for my son in Washington. It's simple 6 1/2" squares surrounded by 2 1/2" borders and then 12 1/2"x 2 1/2" strip center surrounded again by 2 1/2" border. Easy as can be.
Backed in flannel. He says it keeps him nice and warm and he doesn't need that "extra" blanket.

Flannel rag quilt!!!

I really like the looks of this quilt and it is great for a boy. If you happen to know what the school colors are you might incorporate that into the quilt scheme.

Flannel rag quilt :thumbup: Quick easy and you can use solid colors or plaids to make it manly :wink:

Thanks. He was moving into his first apt and his colors were black, tan, ivory and dark red. He wanted something modern as well instead of the old fashion quilts I like. I just played with graph paper to come up with the design. It had to be easy and put together quickly. Using college fabrics would be a great idea.
