I made this last year for my son. He is in his 30's and his fav color has been purple since he was young. He didn't like the light, said the are lavendar and old lady! LOL!! The good thing is he still loves it and has it on the top of his bed---back side up!!!!! When he was little, I called him Douger-do. Some of his cousins still call him Douger and joked around when they saw what I put on the back.

I really like this pattern... Great Job! I like the DougerDo too. I use to call my baby brother Da-Dough .. His name is David.

Thats pretty you did a wonderful job :D

Looks great! thanks for sharing

Awwwhhhh he is so proud of it, Douger wants to show off the label to everyone, thats why he puts it back side out :D Its beautiful :D

it is beautiful! How did you do the lable? machine embroidry?

G

I am wondering the same thing.
It is beautiful.

What a special quilt! You know he treasures it!

How nice, I just love the quilt & the colors that you have chosen to make it with.

Thank you everyone. You all are so nice.

Izy--He said he gets teased by his friends when they see the Douger-Do, but he could always put his blanket over the quilt.

Quilting G and Candi-- yes it is machine embroidry using a baby lock embroidry machine. We put it directly on the backing.

Great quilt!

How did you embroider on the back? Did you do it before you sandwiched it or quilt most of it then embroider and go back and finish quilting it?

I'm always afraid of 'missing' my mark.

So pretty. You did a great job. Love the pattern and the colors are wonderful.

Which pattern did you use...
I am looking for one like this...
Thanks,
Kirsten

I did the embroidry on the back before it was was quilted.

I don't remember the pattern name. I will try to find it tomorrow. I think I got it from a magazine.

Does your heart good when the kids are proud of your work, doesnt it! :wink: Great quilt!

Ok, thanks!

wow that is very nice and it's nice when your child or the person you made it for loves it to...

very very pretty :D

The pattern is from a book I borrowed . I'm sorry I don't remember the name of the book. The quilt in the book is called stars and stripes. It is in blues and white with blue strip border. Sorry I can't be more help.

Nice quilt and I love the back the way you signed it.

Thank you for the compliments. I am lucky that my kids and grandkids all appreciate whatever I make for them, especially my son.

Sorry about the size of my last post. I don't know what happened. I just noticed it now and it won't let me edit it. :oops:

When I read his favorite color, I thought "Donny Osmond". :lol:

Very nice quilt!

Very nice. I love it.

I realized there was probably info under the pic about the quilt. Sure enough; it says 1860's four patch pieced and quilted by Harriet Hargrave. Maybe if you google her name, you can find the directions.

kd24: Your quilts are so lovely. It looks like you've made a bunch of quilts as your work looks flawless. Beautiful and I like your quilting and label, too. Thanks for sharing.

Very nice! If your son ever decides he doesn't want it, send it to ME! :roll:

I can see why he's proud of the quilt - great quilting and pattern! Love it!

Thank you all. :-)

Feathers--my quilts have many flaws, but the love I put into them make up for the flaws. LOL (actually-I usually do a lot of ripping before saying enough-I give up)

sewjoyce--ok, but I don't see him ever wanting to get rid of it!!!!

Debbie1- thank you for you sweet comments. :oops:

I decided to give him my BOM from last year--red, white and blue stars. I have added and added so it will be a
large lap quilt. I am ready to quilt it now. It will be his birthday gift.(end of July)
