Eagle Scout Gift
 

A couple of years ago when my husband was a Scout Leader had me order some BoyScout fabric. "You can make the boys a quilt when they earn their Eagle," he said. He's not the leader anymore, but one of the boys finely earned his Eagle Scout Award. I had been away and feared I would miss making the quilt but was able to get home a week before the award ceremony. I did the free motion quilting as well. I'm not really good at it, but I am free lol. One pic shows the border where I tried to sew/write scout words, it really does say "thrifty". The first pics are of the fabric, the next are close-ups of some blocks, lastly are the Scout with his quilt...hot off my machine-literally... It finished at approximately 68"x78" and was VERY well received.

How nice!!! You did great in a crunch!

very nice pictures

How proud you must be! that is quite an accomplishment for both of you.

a great quilt! i like the way you made the patches on the back

Really cool!!!!!!!!

Nice of you to do this! Great to see a young man follow thru to the end! He must have worked very hard for it.

I spy some very good FMQing in there!!! Great job!!!

Wonderful quilt to remind him of the honor of Eagle scout!! Two of my boys are Eagle scouts. It is a big thing for the boys to earn. It takes dedicated leaders and parents to help them along but in turn the boys will lend a hand to other boys so they too can be Eagles. Great job!!!

fantastic way to honor a Scout who has worked so hard! I think it is an awesome quilt and a handsome young man.

It looks beautiful!

Congratulations to your son for his achievement! He'll treasure this quilt!

In ears to come Eagle Scout on his resume really carries weight ! I know , because I have a son that is an Eagle and he has told me that. Hugs to you both Mother and Eagle. The quilt is well done

Thank you for all your kind words. I need to clarify though. Although my son is an Eagle Scout, this quilt went to a boy in the church Troop. My husband just informed me there will be three more boys ready to Eagle in the spring. I sure hope I can make three quilts from the fabric I have left!!

That is wonderful!

I am impressed!!! What an awesome gift!

Well done SheriR. Great pics! :thumbup:

The quilt you made for this boy is wonderful! I have some of those same fabrics I bought a while back as I plan to make my 16 year old grandson a quilt when he gets there. I hope to print some pictures on fabric of some of his scout camps and projects through the years. What a wonderful thing you did! Great job!

I'd love to see your ideas. I would like to make each quilt different. The panel has odd sized pictures. So my blocks are all odd sized.

Awesome job!

Very nice quilts.

Really nice quilt!

We raised our boys in scouting and know full well how much it takes to earn the Eagle Scout award. I am sure this young man will treasure this quilt forever. You did a wonderful thing by making this for him.

Wonderful!!!!!!!!!!

Wow that is just beautiful, well done.
