Your showing this is perfect timing for me. I have an 8 yr. old g-son who loves to come to my house because I live on a lake & the min. he gets out of the car, he grabs his fishing pole & life jacket & heads to the water. He fishes through dinner til dark. I always make sure to have a cup of nightcrawlers for him but he brings these huge critters to me to break into smaller pcs. He knows it grosses me out & laughs his little head off when I show how grossed out I am. Of course, I really lay it on for him since he teases me about it all the time now. I'm hoping it's one of those G-ma memories he'll always have.
He turns 9 in Jan. & this would be a perf. gift for this precious little guy.

Your friend will love it.

Great quilt for a fisher-person! I love the clever pattern!

teric 11-25-2012 10:48 AM

I think this is so "manly"..Really hard to make for guys...Sometimes..Do you have a pattern for this quilt? Is it ok to copy?

Stacey 11-25-2012 01:33 PM

This is adorable!! I need to make one for my granddaughter who loves to fish.

QuiltBoy 11-25-2012 03:13 PM

....copy away ....No real pattern....saw the block in my travels & adapted it .... the finished squares are 14 x 14 ... border on top & right is 8" wide & on bottom & left is 6" wide .... overall size 56 x 70 ... used 4 colors + a border color ...used the button eyes as an easy way to finish vs embroidery & really surprised me how good they looked
