 Still working on DS1 graduation ... it is soon approaching and I am running out of time. So I'm trying to get as much done as I can. Have lots of pics to share so please be patient. LOL!

T-shirt/Patchwork Quilt (this thing is so big it fits on a california king sz bed and it still hit the floor. I still have to put the back on and tack it down.)

Wow!! You've been busy! But that all looks very uber! I would LOVE to have the patience to quilt something like that... lol. It took 2.5 yrs of prodding to get one fleece quilt done and it's not even really adult size. lol

 Mahalo ... the most time consuming was marking & cutting all of the blocks out by hand. After that was done it took me about 2 weeks to sew it together. I'm a major procrastinator and thrive under pressure, lol!

Wow! That's amazing.

I wish I was crafty. I just don't have the patience for it. I am horrible for starting a project, getting overwhelmed or bored, and never finishing it lol

Does he know you're making it? What's the lei for? Is it traditional?

 Giving leis for graduation is a very big tradition. You should see pics of graduates ... some of them get so many leis that you can barley see their eyes it's just lei and graduation cap on top, lol! I'm making him the money lei and then we will buy a real flower lei the day of commencement.
