Quilt I made for my son's 7th Birthday...8 years ago
 

Today is my oldest sons 15th birthday! In honor of his birthday I have to share with all of you the quilt that I made for him when he turned 7 years old. He still uses it and sleeps with it every night :-)
When he was younger he was obsessed with Pokemon. I think at the time I had only made small baby quilts so this was my first large quilt. He had this lego wall hanging of the pokemon Charizard. I took that lego wall hanging and graph paper and completely graphed out a pattern for a quilt. It has over 2200 2.5" squares. There are so many mistakes in it and I've offered to make him a new quilt that looks better but he says he already has one. The next one I make for him will be a t-shirt quilt for his high school graduation!

Great quilt, great kid.

We have a winner!! Great quilt~and you can tell he still loves it:)

What a great quilt! :thumbup:

So great! Obviously he loved the quilt when he got it and STILL loves it - and now he's getting old enough to understand all that you put into it - the love, your hopes and dreams for him. And so cool to have that picture from the first day and again today!

he's happy and that's all that matters!

Thanks for sharing the pix of that fine quilt and your very handsome young man.

That is pretty cool story and special that he still loves his quilt.
