A few years ago when I got serious about making quilts, one project I set for myself was to make a quilt for each of my 5 (and counting) grandchildren. I got better with each quilt, which I suppose is to be expected. The first 3 were very simple, just squares and simple shapes.
For the fourth, I saw a quilt in a magazine that I thought would be perfect. I think the pattern was called crazy daizies. Then for the 5th grand, I was stumped, so I thought about it for a long time before settling on a pattern called "Streaks of Light." I saw the pattern online and loved it, deciding to make it exactly the same colors as the original. Only one problem, I think the pattern should be called "Stars and Stripes." I made it queen size, so it will be plenty big for years to come. My youngest grandson will be 6 in August, and this quilt will be part of his birthday gifts. I sure hope he likes it.
So now I am on to other projects. I have a partially completed Dear Jane quilt in the drawer waiting, and a kit sitting there staring at me. Those projects will have to wait, though, because I'll be playing with a couple of grands for the next couple of weeks.
