You should be proud, it's a great quilt. I love all the scrappy pieces

I was just going to say something very similar. I think it's a brilliant quilt, and I love your background treatment.

What a great quilt!!
I love it!

What a fun quilt! I love all of it!

You have every right to be proud, it is awesome. Love it!!!!!

What an awesome quilt!! You have every right to be PROUD!!! :D

You did an awesome job quilting it. I love the little touches of things like the airplane propellers. I love the way it turned out.!!!
Thanks for the pattern, I will do this one, it may not be this year but I will have to make it too.

That's a really cute quilt...you did a fantastic job.

That's awesome! My dad would love your quilt. He was a pilot in WWII and a private pilot as a profession. It would be so fun to make him one, it looks difficult, was it?

Awesome! You should be proud, you did a great job!!!

Thank you for sharing the beautiful pictures (love all the detail!!). This is just a brilliant creation and I hope you are feeling very proud of yourself, it's just stunning.

Now THAT is a really cool quilt. I'd have loved to have had that as a little boy! :)

The quilt is spectacular and you SHOULD be very proud of it. I love the variation, colors, and especially the quilting. What a fantastic job!!!
:) :) :)

whee! that quilt passes with flying colors, motomom :D

Great quilt. I love the colors and the planes are awesome. Did you do the pattern yourself. I really like it.

real cute

I love your quilt. I've always wanted to make one sorta like it, because there are so many pilots in our family. You've put so MANY things into it - fields, and flying geese, and tetrahedrons, and sky, and propellers, and flags, and the spectacular Mariner's Compass, and airplanes of course! I'm sure I missed a few symbols. Love it, love it, love it :thumbup: :thumbup:

Amazing! Did you hand quilt it? What a great work of art! I just love the close up of our American flag!

It did take me a long time to piece the top together. But, the airplane blocks and the mariner's compass block are the new paper-piecing technique, and I had never done that before.

I did have to put it on a design board to figure out the correct color placement. And since basically so many blocks are different, there was no assembly-line action, it was pretty much just piece each block one at a time.

After that, well, I hand-quilted it. And that is just as slow as it sounds, but not harder than any other.

Well, I made it for my son who is in Navy Flight school right now, so I hope big boys like it, too! Thanks!

No, got the pattern from these folks:

I made mine using scrappy cloth instead of solid colors as in the picture, and I made a few variations to get the correct placement of everything.

Thanks to all for your kind words.

Thanks, alaska. I did hand quilt it. I tried to show in the pic that I quilted around the little flag, but I wasn't sure you would be able to see it in the picture.

Love the airplanes... I could never let the guy I work with see that he would want me to make him one :lol: GREAT JOB !

I'am in awe of the beautiful work
you have put into making this lovely
quilt!! :D Thank you again, for sharing
all of your picture's with us!!
:D :D :D :D :D :D

That is a true work of art and you should be proud. I know how long it takes to hand quilt as well. I think you should enter it in a show or the fair.

Oh my gosh kiddo, you SHOULD be proud. That is one Gorgeous quilt. YOU DID FANTASTIC!

You did a wondeful job. What a nice quilt. :D

My oldest grandson would love to have that. What an awesome job you did!

Wow! That turned out so nice! All that hard work has turned into an amazing quilt. You really did a nice job on the quilting too.

Thanks for the compliments! I am so happy to get it finished, it seemed to have taken so long. I looked back at my first posting about it, here,

And it was back in April. So, only 5 months! I guess it wasn't that long to do a project....

It's adorable. You should be proud!!!
