I was going through all of my fabric and found a lot of blues, I know I bought it for a quilt but can’t remember the pattern. I love yours.

Besides, think of the awesome blanket forts he can build with such a nice sized quilt. =)

He may be using this a lot longer in life now that it will be bigger. Especially if he grows to over 6 foot tall! He’ll need the extra covers! :) It’s beautiful, too. Proud of you for recycling Dan’s shirts, it’s such a clever idea.

You knit, you sew, you quilt, you make cards, you bake. And that’s all within the past two weeks or so. Insane!

Secondly, I agree with the idea of making the blanket a queen sized blanket to really curl up in and then to have for the future.

Thirdly, in the way that your gifts end up being for other people, it may just be you letting the universe guide you in the gift giving. It’s a wonderful way to be. I don’t usually start early enough to have any kind of flexibility with that :)

Look at your perfect little stacks. I think you should just go ahead and make the quilt. Even if it doesn’t turn out for him, I’m sure you will know what to do with it. I can’t wait to see the finished flag!

Such precision is required–no fudging stitches like I can in knitting/crocheting! This will be a marvelous keepsake no matter the size!

It is much nicer to sleep in a bed with plenty of cover, especially in winter! I love to see quilts made for boys.

Thanks for commenting on my blog too.

I would stick with the original design as that size will be more versatile in the long run.

Sure, it won’t exactly fit on his bed now. BUT…it has a lot greater chance of surviving until he’s an adult and wouldn’t that be cool to go visit him in 20 years (sorry, I shudder at the same thought about my niece) and see it on his bed?
