I'm so impressed! What a great quilt for a cute young man!

I wouldn't change the skirt. I think it looks good--kind of "grounds" the whole thing.

You did a fantastic job on it. I'm sure Ben loves it. Do you have any scraps left? Wouldn't a couple of individual sailboats hanging above the bed look cute in different colors.

Oh, Sharon girl! I have scraps galore! I am going to make another pillow case and a valance for the window. When we did our remodel, we saved the window out of the room he and his sister shared and put it into his wall. So I have the curtains made out of the yellow and white stripe I used in the quilt. He won't want the old valance though, since it has pink piping and sunflowers with grapes. Too girly!

The triangles are great, but you could choose another design for sashing around the blocks and be very successful.

He's so handsome in his jammies, and so proud!

Keep this photo, you never know. When our Ben was about 4 we have a photo of him on some ship at some naval museum in Buffalo, and now he's in the navy!
