Just wanted to post this picture of the quilt top I made for my grandson. Almost 2 years ago, I snapped a picture of him as he was walking away to board his plane. Every since then I had been looking for an idea to use that picture on a quilt. (can you see the small picture of him on the right hand side of the quilt) One day Sandygirl, here on the board, posted a picture of a quilt which was exactly what I had in mind. Many, many thank yous to Sandygirl. She directed me as to where I could purchase the pattern and fabrics. I took my snapshot to FedX and had it enlarged to 43 inches in height, cut out my pattern of my grandson and made the quilt. It is not yet quilted; but hopefully it will be by the time he arrives home from his deployment.

Outstanding top! I like how it looks like he is flashing the peace sign with his left arm. Cool placement of the background fabric to get that effect.

What a terrific quilt you made. He will be in my prayers that he returns safely because he is going to enjoy having this special quilt you made especially for him. God bless him for keeping us safe at home.
