My entry is Andre's (my nephew) Graduation quilt. When he graduated I had not ever started on it, actually didn't even know WHAT I was going to make for him. The inspiration hadn't hit yet. Then I came across this post and BINGO, that was it. One day I sat down with his parents and sister and we all came up with words to describe Andre. They had no idea what was in the works. It is 4" squares and all of the letters are needle turned applique! It is a HUGE quilt and I loved making it. 
And Andre loved it!
And Andre loved it!

Awesome quilt and a terrific, as well as, creative idea!!!
this is a great quilt, so personal with all those words, and so much work for the hand applique letters.
Thanks for visiting: Your comment about the alien totally cracked me up!
Love the crossword idea. Great way to totally personalize the quilt.
needle turned applique, the lines of the letters are so straight, how did you do it?
just a fantastic idea!
What an amazing quilt! there is so much work involved. I love the idea of the word puzzle.
Great gift!
I saw this quilt and I HAD to make one for my grandmother! I can't belive you did all that hand applique! Here is a picture of my top mostly done (http://fiberfish.blogspot.com/2010/11/crossword-quilt.html)
Thanks for the awesome idea!
What a truly fantastic gift.
It looks to me like this lucky boy is also a Scout!
So. Freaking. Awesome! This is amazing! I can only imagine the planning that went into this, but I think this would be a great project for me to do for the husband!
Just checking to make sure I am not a "no reply blogger"!!
