A couple of posts back, I showed this red/white/blue candle mat I made at my daughter's request for a friend of hers. The recipient of this was a friend of my daughter and her husband who was turning 40 and they were having a surprise party for him. (His name is Joe.) He has teased me for months and been asking when I was going to make him a quilt. He would tell me it was fine if I even made him a teeny tiny quilt....but he requested it be red/white/blue. SO I made this candle mat. I wasn't at the party but he called me when he opened it and he was very happy with it. (See photo of him below holding it.) What I didn't know is that Joe can sew and has done a good bit of upholstery. He is actually thinking he might turn this into a pillowtop....which is fine by me. I'm very glad he liked it!

Very nice!
that is great, you can tell he is really happy with his mini quilt......
I love the way he is holding it like a 3 year old with his "blankie."
I am thinking you might even have given him a push toward quilting.
How fun is that! Joe looks so happy to finally have his little quilt :-)
