Quilt Flashback Tuesday: Dandy Doodle Quilt
It is always fun to look back at older photographs on my computer to see what I was quilting at a certain time in my life…in my children’s lives…and in the lives of my extended family. It’s also a good way for me to document my quilts and recipients – since MS has robbed me of much of my memory.
This Quilt Flashback Tuesday, I’d like to feature a quilt I made for my nephew upon his high school graduation. At the time, he was committed to serving in the Navy so the obvious choice for me was to make him a red, white and blue quilt. He never made it to the Navy but he now has the completed quilt. It’s too small for him to fit on a bed but perhaps he uses it as a lap quilt.
I started making the blocks from a free block of the month quilt offered by Planet Patchwork in 2005 and 2006. The pattern is no longer free but it is available on their website here.
Here are two of the blocks from his quilt (circa 6/11/2006):
And this is the finished quilt!
