From the Designer: "This quilt was one that I made for a friend who requested that it be made for a senior in high school. Being for a young man I used cotton material of plaids and solids. I designed it so as no two blocks that were alike were together. It took me about 4 hours to cut out and make the top. I quilted it for about a month but on my on time. Probably about 20 hours but I quilt slowly. I only quilted it by the seams because she wanted it quickly, and I did the quilting by hand."
