The Hawaiian Quilt
All during high school all my son wore
was Hawaiian shirts!
So naturally when he graduated high school
he wanted them cut up into a quilt…
which I did, and he took it to college
in his sophomore year!
(it took awhile!)
Now that he is moving into his own place he
asked if I would repair the quilt!
He so nicely gave me a stack of the Hawaiian
shirts he wore all through college!
Eleven of them - to be exact!!
(some traditions just never go away!)
So cut them up I did!
Not realizing how extensive the repair job would be...
Yikes there is even missing batting!!
It probably would have been easier to make a new quilt,
as this one needed 35 patches!!
Patches in place I delivered it to him yesterday
He was very happy!
His new apartment is taking shape,
DH watching after giving instructions
on how to hang curtain rods!!
His living room is a bit sparse!
But a good start,
he was given a nice leather living room set from his old boss -
it was furniture that was in the lobby of the business he worked
for right out of college!
Actually very comfortable.
And yes he would like a new quilt to match…
the Yellow Leather!!!
Hmmmm….
I have so much Hawaiian shirt material left…
that should match?
Right?!
