Default Quilt for Grandson

He asked me to make a topper for his bed of a character from Roblox - a computer game he plays. I had no clue how to begin so one of my quilting friends gave me lots of good advice in blowing up the image, making pattern pieces, finding the right fabric, steam a seam 2 etc. once I finished the character I treated it like a panel and after that it was easy. He loves it. Said "it's very good". High praise from a 9 year old!![ATTACH=CONFIG]576850[/ATTACH]

Very good job! What grandmothers are willing to do for grandsons!?!

Bet you learned a few things while working on this project, too?

Super advice from your friend. You now have a very happy grandson who thinks his grandmother can do anything. Now that is not a bad thing. I am sure what you learned will bode well for other projects. Cute quilt. BrendaK
