Amy's Creative Side is hosting the Blogger's Quilt Festival and I thought it would be fun to participate. I've never done it before and it sounded interesting .... plus there are a bunch of cool prizes ;)
So my quilt entry is one I made for my oldest son, after he graduated homeschool and boot camp in the same year. I gave him this on Christmas morning.
It is twin sized, and It was made by making individual circles first, filling them with batting, quilting them with an "X" then sewing them together. (The dark blue was the back side and when it got sewn together that part was folded over to the front, making the design you see. Hope that makes sense.)
My daughter stayed up with me all night on Christmas Eve so we could finish this quilt in time for Christmas morning. We finished it at 5 am if I remember correctly. I will never do that again! :)
