My latest quilt, DGSs 16th birthday grey quilt
 
2 Attachment(s)
So my DGS turned 16 at Thanksgiving and I promised him a quilt for his birthday. He painted his room in "grownup" colors this summer in anticipation. Grownup color being Grey. His sister would show him a piece of fabric that he would okay (or not). Then he said he wanted just a "touch" of red. I started collecting for a turning twenty. I could only get 18 plus the red, so one is a repeat. The design is Turning Twenty Again. Since I am somewhat of a novice at quilting, even though I have been sewing for 65 years, I thought this turned out pretty good. Thought you might like to see it, top only.

I agree. It turned out brilliant. My son would love it who is 16 in a few months and was previously a boy that loved re and has gone the grown up colours of grey with some red touches. You've done well.

Thanks for the compliments. DDIL wants me to make matching valances with the leftover fabric.

Very well done. Nice for a teen but has a sophisticated look. He's growning up grandma.

Wasn't sure I would like grey as it usually is a sort of drab color, but I really like your quilt. The red really makes it pop.
