Mark picked out all the flannel for this quilt. It is his. He chose colors of his beloved high school...Huntington High School...Pony Express...red and blue. We used a heavier batting to make the quilt heavier and warmer. We should have added another outer border because it just isn't quite long enough to cover his toes when he is snuggled on the couch watching Sports Center.
We use this one a lot, as you can tell. I also noticed that it needs a little repair..the binding has started to unravel in places. Also, if I knew then what I know now about quilting, I would have made sure that the large blue checked fabric matched. That part drives me crazy when I look at it. But it is like the Amish...they always makes sure to make an 'on purpose' mistake because nothing or no one is perfect. I like that!

I hope you enjoyed my attempt at quilting. I've learned a lot over the years from comments and conversations I have had with friends on the Internet. I hope you will leave a comment that will inspire me to be a better quilter.
