Nephews Graduation Quilt
 
3 Attachment(s)
My nephew graduates from high school this Saturday in Sterling (a 3 hour drive from us). I've been working feverishly this last week making this quilt for him. He's going to San Jose State in California next year. I went online and found the Spartan and the school colors. Then me and my Babylock were sewing like crazy to get this finished in time.
Now my sewing room is cleaned up and the quilt is wrapped for the party on the 26th. Whew

Jeanie that is really beautiful. The colors are really nice!
My nephew graduates in a couple of weeks and since we live so far from each other and I wanted his quilt to be a surprise, I asked his sister what colors he liked. She said he had a couple of green sweaters so she thought he liked green. LOL Not much to go on, but you do what you can. :)

I hope you put a label on the back of that beauty. It is so nice that he will have to keep a close eye on it so it doesn't walk away.

I wrote his name in the quilting so it is there to identify it if something happens.

Latrinka 05-22-2012 02:23 PM

Wow, it is truly an awesome quilt! Hope he realizes what a special gift that is!
