Quilts for Lorenzo

As Christmas approaches, I thought I would share all the quilts I have made for my nephew.  At 19 years, he's no longer little -- and he's over 6 feet tall.

But as I was looking through my records, I couldn't find photos of all the quilts I've made, so there will have to be a second post someday.

This is the first quilt I ever made.  I took a class at my LQS.  It was a flannel rail fence, tied not quilted.


I remember a hockey quilt, in flannel I think.  I wonder if Lorenzo still has it.  I'll have to get him to pull out all his quilts.  I know there were more than what I'm sharing.

I made a bugs-in-jars quilt.  This was one of my early attempts at free-motion quilting.


And a sports quilt.  He played hockey, basketball, and baseball.  Luckily, hockey only lasted a couple of years.  Even though I only went to a few hockey games, I did not enjoy the cold rink or cranky parents screaming at kids and referees.


This pattern is called Jack's Delight -- Lorenzo's nickname is Jack.


This was a basketball kit.


All my shopping is done, and all the gifts are wrapped.  So I think I will spend some time sewing tonight.

    I know I have seen several quilts intended for your nephew over the years. It would be fun to see him pull all of them out!!

    Congratulations on having all your shopping done and wrapped. :)

    Shopping and wrapping done, the payoff is getting to spend time sewing. YES!
