Beautiful quilt, and nice clear directions, thank you.

Those naysayers have got to be proven wrong. Glad you did. The result is beautiful. I am going to keep those directions so that when I put chevrons on a quilt, I will be able to do it that way. Thank you.

Great quilt. He'll love it.

Terrific chevrons!! Fun use of the striped fabric.

OH I won't tell a soul but it sure is handsome ! LOL :- )

Nice chevron. Looks nice.

Bet your son loves it..

I love the fabric variety used with the white. One of the prettiest chevrons I have seen

Love the quilt and the way you used the striped fabric. Also love the way it looks with the plaid flannel. But the most impressive thing is your ingenious technique for HST's. I think I understand it, but maybe you'd consider doing a tutorial. Thanks so much for showing this!

Love chevrons! Love this! Your son will luv it too!

The fact that you actually put the directions here without someone asking is fantastic! Thank John so much. I bet your will see a lot more of these chevrons showing up now on the board. Yours looks awesome. Thanks again so much

I'm a beginner & not really catching on to do this are the strips 9&7/8" or a total of 9 strips 7/8" wide? Could you maybe do a longer tutorial please, I love Chevrons. Thanks

Jeri, I've tried a couple of times to post this for you. Definitely NOT a set of 9 strips, each 7/8th inch wide. There are only two fabrics in this quilt: a white one and a red, white and blue stripe. The stripe looks like, but is not, a lot of small strips sewn together! I do not have the patience for that.

I started a different chevron that only uses two fabrics. The fabrics are cut in 8&7/8th inch strips, so there are two 8&7/8th inch strips. The process is exactly the same as for the quilt I made my son. I took pictures as I went and then added some text to them.

for some reason, I have had difficulty posting the pictures, but am giving it one more try. I hope it works. Yay! It seems to have worked!

very beautiful!!!

What a great quilt for a guy. Love the flannel back and the chevrons look great in stripes. Cool idea!

Wowsers! That is a great quilt. Your son will love it.

What a beautiful quilt you made. Do you have any more of the striped fabric? Can you post a pic of that so I can see it in my head? I see so many different striped fabrics in your quilt. Imean, I believe you and all but I just can't see the original fabric. I really like your quilt for your son!

Wonderful!! Love the red white and blue theme. And your construction method sounds intriguing!

WOW!! :D Your quilt just couldn't have turned out any nicer. It is truly a special gift for him.
:D :D :D :D

He will love it
