Eagle Scout Gift

A couple of years ago when my husband was a Scout Leader had me order some BoyScout fabric. "You can make the boys a quilt when they earn their Eagle," he said. He's not the leader anymore, but one of the boys finely earned his Eagle Scout Award. I had been away and feared I would miss making the quilt but was able to get home a week before the award ceremony. I did the free motion quilting as well. I'm not really good at it, but I am free lol. One pic shows the border where I tried to sew/write scout words, it really does say "thrifty". The first pics are of the fabric, the next are close-ups of some blocks, lastly are the Scout with his quilt...hot off my machine-literally... It finished at approximately 68"x78" and was VERY well received.

Nice of you to do this! Great to see a young man follow thru to the end! He must have worked very hard for it.

Wonderful quilt to remind him of the honor of Eagle scout!! Two of my boys are Eagle scouts. It is a big thing for the boys to earn. It takes dedicated leaders and parents to help them along but in turn the boys will lend a hand to other boys so they too can be Eagles. Great job!!!
