Red, White and Blue Quilt

On our visit last year to Minnesota, our bed had the quilt on it that Son #2 took to college. The quilt pattern is here for YOU ! 

It's so soft

Machine pieced and I had it long arm quilted. 

Looking pretty good for 12 years old.

Quilt Order Already in For Christmas 2012

When you are 6 years old and your older brother received a new quilt
 for Christmas (2011) 
and you didn't ! 
YOU understand the whole idea of 
ASKING  Grandma EARLY ! ! 

On our trip in January, I was asked if he could have a new quilt for Christmas. 

He had no colors, no size, just a quilt and after some talking I found out the reason ! 

"With My Name on IT?"

I found the why......I put Grand #1's name of the back of his new quilt
And Grand #2 likes it and needs a quilt with his name on it too ! 

Here's his new quilt top ! !  Machine pieced and I'm going to do 2 layers of batting 
and tie it, just like brothers. Grandma's learning ! 

The ONLY thing is this pattern is not going to be a pattern book, 
like brothers -  HERE 

The question, "Did Grandma learn anything?"
