Scout Quilt


Sean's quilt top is done. I am very pleased with how it turned out. I am going to get an oatmeal color chenille for the back, then I will have it quilted.




Each one of these 8 pointed star blocks have a different rank in the center, covering all six of them! That worked out really well. I had Sean help me with the order.





It was fun "fussy cutting" the merit badge fabric. I tried to get badges that meant something to Sean.


I thought the troop numbers were fun along the top and bottom of the quilt. They added a couple of more inches in the length. The troop that meant the most to him was "1482" and I was going to incorporate that, but there were no "ones" in the strip.

That really was fast. It looks great--is that red chenille in there? I bet Sean is excited to have his own quilt. I can just see him wrapping himself up in it and laying on the bathroom floor in the fetal position... :)
