I make memory quilts when a grandchild graduates from High School....Michael graduated in June...he chose the colors and he loves baseball....instead of batting I used a fleece backing....he LOVED it!!

Do any of you have a website or a picture of a quilt you've made that a teen boy loved?

I made a Pittsburgh Steelers rag quilt for a teen. He loved it, used it, and there wasn't much time invested :) I also think that square in a square is masculine when used with the right colors.

I have a teenager son and he likes X-box (Halo especially) so I digitized and embroidered blocks for him that showed some of the awards that he had received on the game.
He also likes to make movies so I made him the Strip Show quilt (think that's what it's called) out of bright colors..
He also likes lizards and planes.. also has a duvet cover that covers the BTB quilt he had when he was little.
If you can find out just a few things they like, then you can go from there..

I'm considering doing a Tumbling Blocks for one of my grandsons. My other grandson has aspergers, so I'm going to use the new 3D fish material to make his quilt. For my oldest daughter, I made her a t-shirt quilt using her swim and water polo t-shirts. Used sashing and corner stones. Will try to post picture. Thanks, everyone, for sharing your beautiful quilts.

If you knew what football or basketball teams they liked that would make a great quilt. If they are into hunting or fishing there is some really nice outdoors themed fabric in the stores. Or like has already been said demin or rag quilts are always nice. I have done all of the above and the quilts were loved.
