Quilt for my grandson's 16th Birthday
 

This is my first Quilt, it is large enough to fit the top of a king size bed or drape down the sides of my grandsons queen size bed. I started the quilt in March and finished it in October for his birthday, it is hand quilted in the Japanese style, the pattern is from a Japanese quilting book and the materials are mostly Robert Kaufman and Andover with a few pieces from my sister's stash. The batting is bamboo which gives it a lovely drape and cuddliness.

Because it is such a large quilt I decided to also machine quilt SID for stability, I am pleased to say that my Elna Elina 40 handled it vey well.

I have decided to not admit to any mistakes in this quilt only artistic licence LOL. Making this quilt has been an inspiration, a therapy and has hooked me for life and I have already started on two more, one throw and a baby quilt and have also just completed a cot quilt.

I love looking at all your pictures and find this board an inspiration. I hope you enjoy my pictures and thanks for looking.

Very nice and I love your color choices!!

What a wonerful quilt for the GS, the colors go well together, the quilting brings out the whole quilt. Thanks for sharing.

Great colors. Looks very comfy!

First quilt? Wow! You have done a fantastic job! Keep up the good work.

I love the quilt and got such a laugh out of the expressions on your grandson's face. Typical teenager!

It is a wonderful quilt, love the colors and the big stitch quilting. That looks great. And you model is very handsome.

Very nice quilt.

Lovely quilt. I'm surprised you couldn't coax a smile out of your grandson - but after all, he is 16. He'll smile when he thinks no one is looking.

Love it! Looks fantastic, especially for a first project. You are doing great!

lovely choice of colours, great quilt

Awwwww, he loves his quilt. I bet that quilt gets a lot of cuddling. :)

Very nice I like the colours.

Great job. Love the colors and the japanese quilting.

Beautiful quilt, your GS looks like he already enjoys it.

Welcome to the world of quilting. A great start. May you have many years of play and gifting.

Beautiful quilt. I guess I will have to look up Japanese quilting to get a better idea of what you did. I love the colors and I am sure this 16 year old loves it.

Very nice quilt! Your grandson makes a very handsome model!

That's a really nice quilt! I'm sure he has a smile in there, somewhere!
