Quilt for Ryan

Only one of our kids got a quilt for Christmas. The quilt was one I'd pieced several years ago, but it sat on my pile of WIPS unquilted. I finally had Terry quilt it for me.

It's all homespun fat quarters. The pattern is Turning Twenty- 20 FQs, a few cuts and a bit of rearranging, and there you have it. I used a plaid flannel for the backing, so it's especially cozy.

Ryan was very excited about his quilt...

... And as you can see, a quarter century of living hasn't dulled his enthusiasm for life's simple pleasures!
Make it a Wonderful Day!

  1. That was too funny! Isn't it great when someone loves what you made as much as you do? It's a beautiful quilt that's for sure. Nice and manly looking. Well done.

  8. Hey Mrs. Allgood, it's Alex, Taylor's roommate. He mentioned that Ryan got a quilt for Christmas, but he didn't receive one himself. He proceeded to mention that he wished he had received one. This may be a good idea for a birthday or christmas present this year.

  9. Hi Mrs. Allgood - This is Ryan's friend Karrie. I noticed that this is turning into a forum for quilt requests. Please consider this my official request for a one-of-a-kind Stephanie Allgood quilt. I'm not too particular about colors. It doesn't have to be as 'manly' as Ryan's though.

    Much appreciated!
    Karrie

    P.S. My birthday is in Dec. You shouldn't need that much time. How about my half birthday July 25?

    ;)
