Texas going away gift
 

My daughters friend is going to Brazil for two years. She asked me to make him a "Texas" quilt like the one I made her sister and brother when they left the state. It's only bandanas cut and re-assembled. Easy peasy. I usually use real Texas flags but I only had a couple of days to make it and Walmart didn't have Texas flags for some reason lol. I made my own with bandana scraps. It's also my first time doing FM loops. Don't look too closely at them.... I used a black binding and have to brag, I think it was perfect! Daughter loves her gift. He will receive it Sunday I think, and have a nice reminder of his home. Texas. :D

Thanks for looking! :D

It is wonderful!

That's really cute and very clever! You did a great job on it:)

Really fun and wonderful, thank you.

wow this is so different and so so cute.

I am married to Texan and they are proud of their state. Your quilt is original and looks great. Hugs

Really cute!

Nicely done.

Really cute!

It came out really nice..

Absolutely g-o-r-g-e-o-u-s!!! 'course coming from a fellow TEXAN... Just beautiful. A wonderful gift & with bandanas no less! Where did the little flags, Texas & stars come from? Thanks for sharing!!!

nicely done

That would be a good one for July 4th.

Very creative. Thanks for sharing it. I am sure he will cherish it while he is away and when he comes back, that is if someone doesn't try to buy it from him while he is away!

I think it is wonderful! I have a collection of bandanas that I have never used.....inspiring!!!!

Great quilt!!

From another fellow Texan, I love it!

Great job!

Oh Sheri, I LOVE it! I lived in Texas for 25 years and really miss living there. Fortunately my kids live in Austin and Fort Worth, so I do get there once or twice a year to visit.

so beautiful! and really great idea for those lost Texans! mmmmm..... wondering how I could apply that idea to another state ....

very nice quilt......

If you can scroll in the stars and Texas's are from bandanas too. Then the flag was made from those bandana scraps because I didn't have time to search for real ones. I started this Wednesday lol, July 3, finished yesterday afternoon.

We're more worried it will get "borrowed". I hope adding his name will prevent that. :-)

Well aren't you the clever one! I really like it.

Use your imagination. I've done bandana quilts in all shapes and colors. Just use the stack n whack method. Most bandanas aren't square. I fudged alot of seams but you can't tell can you? It's the beauty of the bandana lol.

Lost Texans lol that's cute. As for ideas, just pick your colors and go with it!

Wonderful work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think its great. Your looptys make it look like a Texas rope!! I wouldn't mind having one of those!!!

whaT A NICE GIFT NICELY DONE!!!!

Mission accomplished, you have done a great job.

Awww, your daughter's friend will love his quilt and feel the love that went into creating it when he is far from home. That is a wonderful gift and one he will treasure.

Such a neat quilt! Great work.

That looks very nice and it will be treasured

Wonderful quilt, my Sis would love it.

Really, really cute. I have a son and DIL in Dallas that that would be perfect for. Great idea. I may have to copy it.

LOVE IT....what a clever idea!

Copy away ladies. Isn't quilting fun!

Wow you did that fast and it is such a wonderful gift!

Love what you did there! Great job! Brings 'deep in the heart of texas' to mind :)
