My son will be 30 years old on the 16th. I actually have this finished in time. Unbelievable on my part !!! He saw the batiks and loved them but could not imagine them all together. Can't wait to see what he thinks. Since he wanted it to be big ( he loves to lay on the couch all curled up) and warm, I had it quilted with a leaf pattern that was rather large so it was cuddly and used washable wool batting. Should be all he hoped for. When I started this quilt he was a lonely bachelor. Now he has a beautiful, fantastic girlfriend. Hope she loves as much as he does. (I know he will be proposing soon)
Thanks so much for looking

OOOOOO that's beautiful!!!!!!!! I bought a lot of batiks for my 3 sons- they make great guy quilts but also great for everyone! I'm sure she'll love it just as much :D
You did a wonderful job on it!!

Wow, it is just beautiful. He (they) will love it.

Love the quilt for your son. I have 2 sons and 1 daughter turning 30 years old in January (yep, triplets). They are not as lucky as your son. No quilts for them ----yet. I'm having a hard time believing they are that old. Where did 30 years go????????

That's very nice! I love the colors you selected.

Beautiful quilt. They are sure to love it.

Beautiful!

beautiful!

love the batiks. Beautiful quilt.

It's gorgeous! Love the colors and the big leaf quilting.

Very nice! I'm sure he (and his girlfriend) will love it.

Oh Wonderful quilt! I am sure he and she will treasure it.

That is just gorgeous!! Your son will love it, just hope the new girl does. I had made several quilted, country style things for my son when he was single, he really like them.Then he married a interior decorator and she threw it all out! I actually got them from the trash box !! His most treasured item, his grandma's music box( a very simple one, not a beautiful one) that was never seen again.

I realy like your lovely quilt!! Gorgeous colours and I do like the pattern!! Beautiful!

Beautiful quilt....what is the name of the pattern you used...looks like something my sons would like...maybe done up in Flanell

It's beautiful, he'll love it!

Gorgeous! I love the batiks and they all go well together.

wow, so good.

OMG is that ever beautiful.

I love the soft colors you used on his quilt. I am sure he will love it.

I think this quilt might well be the prettiest batik quilt I have ever seen. I am not super crazy about batiks in a quilt. I see pretty batik fabrics but just don't want to put them in a quilt. But I sure do like yours and I am willing to bed your son and his GF will like it too.

What a beautiful quilt. Great ideas for the batting and quilting to make it soft and warm.

I'd love to have it, thats for sure! Lovely!

Beautiful

Love the colors and hte design!!! He should be proud!!!

What an awesome use of Batiks! Your quilt is truly beautiful. I am sure your son and his girlfriend will love it.

Wow that is so pretty. I dearly LOVE Batiks! What a wonderful job you did. I know he will love it and so will the girlfriend.

Awesome quilt!! Not girly, not overly masculine, they will both enjoy this quilt :D:D:D

Very lovely! I really like that pattern! Nice job.

I can't even imagine how I would have felt if that happened to me. Hopefully, somebody told her what it all meant. Are they still together today? I don't know if I could ever give this girl a gift if I were you. Always be wondering if she appreciated it. Thanks so much for your comment.

Thanks so much. I love batiks and have a lot of them but yet this is the first quilt I made with them. The colors are just terrific. Naturally the picture doesn't show the detail of each one but you can get the idea.
The pattern is called "Log Cabin Loco" by Marlous Designs. I made it a little bigger than the actual 61 x 76 of the original pattern. Hope you enjoy making it as much as I did.

I love batiks and your quilt is lovely, I'm sure he will love it!! It's great that you finished it on time, good work! :thumbup:

Really nice. I have 3 adult grandsons and this gives me ideas! :-D Thanks.

Thank you so much for your comment. You and so many others have been so kind. Go ahead and give those batiks a try. I'm sure you will be as thrilled with the results as I am. My son is more on the modern side with his decor and batiks are perfect for that. I on the other hand am very traditional, but I like to through the Asian fabrics in there too. That is my next project. Doing something with all these gorgeous asian fabrics I have. Thanks again

Nope, that marriage lasted a little over a year. My son recently bought a new home, and he was looking in every crook and nanny for that music box as he packed, but no luck finding it. He just won't believe that she would have thrown that away too, but I imagine she did. She really was a nice person, but she was fixing up her home , her way, and knowing my son, he probably didn't tell her to keep it. Because of two divorced sons, we learned a few things. Number one, if you make something for them, give it to your own child , and make sure that if they ever decide they don't want it, , you would like it back. Myhubby made our grandson a cherry bedroom set, and when son and DIL divorced, she got everything. We had given them so much money for their home improve,ments,( her parents gave items,) trying to help out, and then she wouldn't even let my son take the cherry bedroom set. Divorce said she got what was given to them. She told us if we wanted it, we could buy it . So, we bought another cheap set for GS, and my son had the cherry at his apartment. When hubby made other furniture for other children, I made a point of telling the spouse, that stays with my kid in case of divorce!! Good thing I did too, cause it happened to another, but my kid got what we had provided or dad had made. No arguments!!

Beautiful quilt!

My birthday is the 16th too. Sure wish I had someone that would make me a treasure like your son will be receiving. It is really beautiful. My son needs a dew quilt. What is the pattern name?

Gorgeous! He's going to love it!

I love batiks in all quilts, but your quilt brings them all together to a new level! This is so lovely and sophisticated but not too girly-girl for a young man. What a keepsake gift from a loving mother!

I have some of those fabrics in a kit I purchased. Worked on it for awhile - now I have inspired to get back at it. Nice job!!
