Grandpa is not from Texas, but he got there as fast as he could! One Christmas, I made him a quilt that looked like a Texas flag on the front of it. I wanted the stripes part to look kind of wonky and crooked, but it did not turn out as wonky as I wanted! This was just my own pattern, sewing stuff together and seeing how it looked. I did four patches and large single square patches to fill in the rest of the quilt. The star is appliqued on.
The back part of his quilt is a large panel of a Native American on his horse. Grandpa really liked the back! The rest of the back was leftover pieces of fabric from the front. The whole quilt was done in red, white and blue.
I quilted it together with diagonal lines that crossed each other. It was a large quilt that covered his whole couch. That is where is still lives to this day. I'm so glad that Grandpa enjoys his quilt.
