Carol, your quilt turned out wonderful. That will be so nice that the family is home for the holidays. There isn't a better present.

That is an awesome quilt! I love how clever it is and your idea for it to be a travelling quilt is very cool! You did a great job on it!

What a wonderful quilt for your traveling Christmas tradition...I hope it gets a lot of use and love from year to year. You did a great job.

Love it. I made a crossword puzzle on the back of my MIL quilt. My DH found a free download on google?? and then my son enlarged it and sent it to spoonflower.com and they printed it on one yard of quilters cotton for about $18 (back in 2011 so may have gone up) Well worth it to me. I didn't know they make a stencil panel..........so convenient.

Carol,

Your quilt is fantastic! I bet you had the same experience that I did in that working with the letters of each name was heartwarming as thoughts went to that person.

Your idea of passing the quilt around amongst the family will allow each family to treasure it for a while - wonderful!.

Mom's quilt was hanging in the lobby of her senior apartment complex for about a month. Now she has it back. Her brother and some other relatives are visiting from out of state this weekend, and they will enjoy seeing it.

With Mom we gave her a crossword puzzle on paper with clues before she saw the quilt. She was able to work it and was very surprised when the puzzle was then given to her in the form of the quilt. My sisters have used the puzzle with their grown kids, and I think they learned more about the family from it.

I like what you did with your extra letters!

Thank you for the kind words and for posting yours which gave us the idea. And now the crossword puzzle may be our idea for the contest. God bless you!!! You are right about the thoughts and prayers that were spoken for each one as I sewed it together. ~ Carol

I love this! I also love the game Scrabble. I use to bribe my daughters to get them to play; play or you have to do a chore (maybe those were threats instead of bribes). They still talk about my way of getting them to play. What a hoot if I made a Scrabble quilt.

just love them all. My husband would have loved this.

thank you for providing the information as to where to find the tiles. i've been wanting to make one for awhile and you saved me a lot of time searching for them.

Terrific quilt! Clever idea to pass it around. Maybe play scrabble and the winner gets to take it home?
