Camouflage Throw for a Grandson
Most of the fabrics used in the front and back of this camouflage quilt were bought at Walmart. The olive strips were cut from a pair of cargo pants from the Good Will Store. The quilt top pattern is based on Mary Johnson's "Quick Strippie" quilt. Thank you, Mary. This is a great pattern for a small quilt. I think I made the strips a little longer. And I sewed on a border. It was quilted with wavy lines using a walking foot on the sewing machine. After a go in the washing machine and the clothes dryer, it finished at 50" x 66", a nice throw for a child.

Beautiful... your grandson will love it!
I see what you mean about the camo. I hope you will feed your soul and use some bright colors next. I'm sure your son will love this one, but for you...

Mary's pattern is great - I'm sure he's happy with this - Now go work some color girl!
What a great quilt for your DGS. I'll bet he loves it! You sure have been cranking out the projects lately. . . you eating your Wheaties, or what?!
Nice quilt Im sure your grandson will love it (I know I would) Do you wash all your quilts once they are quilted and bound?
What a lucky grandson. I'm sure this will be cherished and made good use of in games!
