You brought tears to my eyes. The quilt is beautiful and I have been working on one for a long time for my son. His birthday is in March. ...Maybe, just maybe I can get it done. Thanks for inspiring me.

I did not have a pattern - drew it up on EQ after a class - My dear friend Barb teaches this technique - it's easy! Cut backing and wadding a couple of inches larger than finished block - draw diagonals on wadding (laid on top of backing) - this gives you the centre of the block - sew precut strips around a centre square, flipping each strip as you go - does that make sense?? All the blocks were then joined together by machine on the front - and then by hand on the back - lots of hand sewing!! Will post a pic of a part sewn block if you like ...

hehe :) Davee is well over six foot (I'm just 6 foot!) so needed a nice long one to cover him! Actually goes over the pillows as well - I chose to complete the design so that it was symetrical - that meant it was way longer than needed - glad I did tho' ...

Oh Sandy ... our son's are such special men in our lives! Davee (he's actually a David!) is a wonderful son and young man and we are all so very proud of him - often brings tears to my eyes ... Do hope you get yours done by March --- keep me posted!

Your quilt is soooooooooo beautiful. Fantastic job.

That is really beautiful! A labor of love, and something he'll always love and treasure. Love the colors and the setting stars!

Beautiful quilt. Love the colors.

I love it too!

I'm curious what march you appear to be in in your picture.

Pam, my question regarding your march is addressed to you. Thanks!

Outstanding. I love the colors. He's appreciating it more now than he would have as a 13 yr old, so you got it done right on schedule.

Beautiful Quilt!

It is beautiful and you did a really awesome job. Just think now is the right time. He has 5 years growth under his belt, :) yup not he is ready for it... :)

WOW, Awesome :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

This is beautiful!

Beautiful quilt. Davee is a lucky guy.

What a beautiful quilt.
I can see why he loves it.
You did a great job on it.
Hugs, Sharon

Again thank you to all for your encourageing and heartfelt posts! I am totally blown away by it all ! I've mentioned I'll get to putting up a tutorial on the technique when I have some spare time - bear with me - our house has just gone on the market and DD goes into final year at high school as well this year! Lots happening - about to start up my own blog too - family pressure on that one LOL !! DO send me a PM reminder if I get TOOOO slack! (read ... busy!!)

That is just gorgeous! Great job!

Gorgeous quilt :-D :-D :-D

Well worth the wait, lovely.
Now do more!!

WOW, what a wonderful quilt! Was well worth the wait and your son obviously LOVES this gift of love.

That's a great story...and a great quilt!
Just goes to prove that good things come to those who wait...

That is without a doubt one of the most beautiful quilts I have ever seen, and at 82 I've seen a few!

Beautiful & I'm sure he thinks it was worth the wait. Besides, I'll bet he appreciates it more at this age & has some sense of the work & love that you devoted to his special quilt.

Thanks Bonnie! He left just after CHristmas - I had to post it as I said - he still has not received it - is at his sister's house - they are both in Brisbane - awaiting the flood waters to rise - both famiies are safe and should not be too badly affected we hope - many many sad stories of lives and things lost - we are praying for relief and safety ... I am in Australia :) - just in case you did not recognise where Brisbane is ...

Wowzer! This is a stunning quilt! Lucky Davee! You did a fabulous job on it. Thank You for sharing.

I was so taken with the quilt I didn't even notice where you were. We hear about your terrible floods daily, and are so concerned. Hope the quilt arrives safely!

It's absolutely beautiful! Congrats on getting it done!
