Thank you.

I bought the fabric on fabrics.com last fall. It is Robert Kaufman / Quilting Treasures fabric. I believe the panels are still available but I am not sure about the coordinating fabric from the line. Good luck!

I was very close to not puting label on it, but a friend told me "you have to put a label on your quilt, always" so I did

As a parent of an Eagle Scout and former Scoutmaster of our troop I appreciate and realize all you did to finish this quilt. I'm sure if you ask any scout that is how they felt sometimes in trying to complete a project to move up in rank. A lot of times the boys complained about doing a job but I would always try to explain the outcome from it. Look at your outcome.You did a beautiful job on the quilt. I am in the process of making a quilt for my son out of his Class B shirts he obtained while in scouts. I do like your alot. Great job. Yours in Scouting.

Nicely done! My son is a Life Scout, headed toward Eagle, but I think he may need a shove. My husband is the Scoutmaster, we started with the program when our son was in 1st grade. Your quilt is wonderful!!

My sons were Scouts, my youngest made Eagle. I stayed with the troop till I moved so I was a boy scout longer than my boys were. LOL I am going to make a quilt for the Scout Master from tshirts from camps he had taken the boys too through the years. He ad 33 years a scout master.

You quilt is great, wish I could put in a bid!
