I sewed college quilts as high school graduation presents for the twins in our family. I waited until they had selected their colleges before picking up the fabric because I wanted to make the quilts in the college colors. Needless-to-say, that put me behind a bit!
I did finish the quilts before graduation in June, then sent them off to be quilted. The specific quilter I used did an absolutely amazing job.
Our niece is planning a career in medicine and is at UCLA, so the colors are blue and gold.
The quilting - this just blows me away - is the hippocratic oath. You know it - it's the "do no harm" speech that you hear on every medical TV show. It's tough to see on these photos, but it's there...trust me!
Our nephew is planning a film career. He's been into movie making projects since he was very young, and he's very talented. He's at Chapman University in CA...hence the red and white for that university.
His quilt is quilted with the names of actors, movies, directors and producers - very fun and very unique!
I got them back a couple of weeks ago, added binding and labels, then sent them to the twins. I hope the quilts keep them wrapped in hugs whenever they're feeling a little homesick.
The patterns are from a favorite blogger of mine -
