Grandson Aaron graduated from High School and his mom, Barb, decided to make him a quilt for his dorm room. Barb had never made a bed quilt before, so this is her first one. It turned out great!!! She quilted it with a slight zig-zag stitch, more like a wobble. The back is a soft flannel because Aaron requested something warm. She simply brought the backing to the front and stitched it down with a step zig-zag, resulting in a very secure binding that should withstand multiple freshman boy washings. She had the idea to make the label into a triangle shape. She said she learned that in a class and that normally two sides of the label can be in the binding. Isn't that just a great idea? I guess even old dogs can learn new tricks. Beautiful job!!! Jerilynn
