    About 20 years ago, I decided to make my two sons their very own quilts. Older son's was blue, and younger son's was to be green. The green one was never made. Memories are vague on that point, but younger son reminded me frequently that he somehow ended up without his green quilt. So, I decided it was time to make one for him. The pattern was "Romance Around the World" and bought at the LQS in Manteca. Only now, the name of the quilt is "Ben's Green Quilt. Because he likes dragons and Celtic designs, I added an embroidery design in the center. I will take it to him in April. It is a surprise.
