This quilt is so special because it has fabric donated from my friend's family members scattered throughout. Some of them are from his dads old shirts, old baby blankets etc.

I think I like the back better than the front. It really showcases the quilting.

 I framed the map print in some leftover navy fabrics and then used a blue flannel from Joann's for the rest of the back. The flannel isn't a true solid. It has some darker splotches in it and reminds me of water.

I did FMQ waves on the map region. You can see it better in the closeup below.

  This is the label. It was a family member fabric contribution that I couldn't bear to cut into a 4" square for the centers of the blocks.

Lovely rolled up quilty. I'm so honored to be able to make this quilt for a friend. I hope little W loves it and has lots of sweet dreams under it once he gets old enough for his big boy bed.
