Blue Batik Strip Quilt for Grandson
 
2 Attachment(s)
This is for my 13 year old grandson in Florida - his favorite color is blue so I think he will like it! It is quilted by my friend Amy in a curl type panto so it looks like rolling waves - the tropical fish on the back just seemed right for it too.

One lovely boy quilt, and especially nice for a boy!

My grandsons would love it.

That is one awsome quilt. He will love it.

LoisM 11-22-2012 11:48 AM

He's going to LOVE it! The first narrow border really sets it off. Great job!

I absolutely love it - both sides!
What a great gift!

Love the quilt and the backing you've used. Is it a jelly roll race quilt with 2-1/2 inch squares between the strips? I like that idea. Makes it more interesting. Been planning one of those myself and will have to remember this.

Oh my gosh I love this quilt!!!!!!, what a great combination!!!!!

joyce888 11-22-2012 04:54 PM

Very very nice. I especially like the light blocks breaking up the strips.

redquilter 11-22-2012 05:03 PM

That's really nice. Like the use of the squares between the strips. Gives it movement and interest. All the fabrics are great and so is the back.

erstan947 11-22-2012 05:03 PM

I love blue too. Love this quilt. The backing is the perfect touch for this quilt. Wonderful job!

raynhamquilter 11-22-2012 05:04 PM

Perfect for Florida!

That is so pretty. Love the back too

QandE2010 11-22-2012 06:40 PM

This is a gorgeous quilt. Simple, but elegant. I think the back looks like it was made especially for this quilt. Thanks for sharing.

BrendaK 11-22-2012 06:53 PM

Super front and back. What boy or girl would not love this. BrendaK

Looking for tropical fist to applique. Do you know where you found that material?

DebbE 11-23-2012 08:22 AM

He's going to be over the moon when he receives it -- both sides are spectacular....

Ann Marie O 11-23-2012 10:31 AM

It was a jelly roll that I added to and took some out with 2 1/2 squares in between - because I added more to it I think it made the white squares more irregular but like how it came out.

"Timeless Treasures Nautical Ocean Floor Turquoise"

It is just a strip quilt made with a jelly roll that I added to (and took out some). I added the white squares at the end of each strip before sewing strips together. I think the white really added nicely (it is actually a cream batik).

Love your quilt. The white squares add a bit of pop. I'm sure your grandson will love it.
