Thanks to all for the kind words and encouragement.
I live on the west coast now so Ohio is a long ways away. I sure miss my brother and it's hard knowing he's been struggling. Making the quilt helped me feel closer to him. I know he'll like it.

Thanks again.

Beautiful quilt and a wonderful gift after a bad year!

What a fantastic pattern to use for a college football fabric. I am sure they will enjoy this quilt.

Awww! Beautiful quilt!

That is simply beautiful!!!

That is a lovely quilt! Hope it helps him on his road to healing.

Hopefully this will help your brother's luck turn around.

Looks like you paid attention in all your classes...........WOW. He is going to be blown away by not only your quilt and quilting, but the devotion to him by his sister. Your quilting is to die for................wish you got closer shots though, so I could learn something!

Awesome job! Love all the ideas you used and the trapunto. So sorry about your brother's troubles. It sounds like he will have an uphill battle that will be aided with help from his family and friends. Glad you will be there for him in some way.

Sounds like he has had a bad year...I know your quilt will cheer him up..
