The quilt I never thought I would make
 

It's so not my style. But my beloved stepson was quite specific. As much as he loved the quilt I made him years ago, it's too short now; he's grown to 6'5". He "ordered" a brown and green quilt with hunting and fishing scenes and a minky backing. So here it is - 70" x 95". The brown and brown/black fabrics remind me of tree bark. The green fabric has pine cones and boughs. The fabric that looks like camo has forest animals on it. I made bear claw blocks for the corners and a few flying geese between the fish. The quilting pattern from Urban Elementz is called Kindling and looks like wood grain. The backing is a luscious cocoa brown. And it was a bear to quilt. (I guess that's in keeping with the woodland theme.) He'll be coming to town early October for a late birthday celebration. I can't wait to give it to him. I think he will love it.

WOW!!! That is amazing, it's definitely a huge quilt for a big boy! He's going to love it and cherish it for a long time.

Oh goodness, yes. And the quilting sets it off beautifully.

Your quilt is beautiful. You have made it masculine without it being so dark. You have filled his request wonderfully and he should love it.

Looks amazing, he certainly will love it.

You put a lot of thought into this to make sure he got what he wanted. This may not have been your comfort zone but you did beautifully!!

I just made a dragon quilt for my youngest son and backed it with minky. Minky is sure a challenge but it turned out great and he loves it. Yours will too!!

What a gorgeous quilt! The quilting is beautiful.

Spectacular!!

That turned out beautifully! Well done. I love your quilting.
