Give It a Whirl Blog Hop, My Day

The Give It a Whirl Blog Hop started Monday hosted by the amazing Carol @Just Let Me Quilt. Many thanks to Carol for letting me participate in another fun challenge! Today I get to share what I made.

The Challenge: Somewhere in or on your project you must include a "whirl". This can be a pinwheel, Dresden, or anything that looks like it's spinning. Maybe a merry-go-round or Ferris wheel in the fabric?

Last year I made my granddaughter's boyfriend Drew a Moose quilt for is graduation from nursing school. He loves moose, and was very thrilled with this quilt.

Last summer granddaughter Kyleigh and Drew were going camping. She had her car packed with camping gear, and as he was coming later, she asked him to bring a blanket and pillows. He brought his moose quilt, and Kyleigh told him "you don't bring a quilt camping". Drew responded that Gramma Karrin made it for him.

Drew's birthday happens to be today, my day for the hop. I had gotten a moose panel, and some camping/hiking type flannel to make him a camping quilt. When I was searching through ideas for the Give It a Whirl Blog Hop, I came across this River Whirls By Connie Kresin.

I cut my whirls out wrong, so I didn't have was not able to have them all going the same way, and didn't have enough of the green fabric to cut out more.

I labeled this as Drew's Camping Quilt, just so he knows. I had some moose, bear and tree motifs from the quilt last year cut out on my Accuquilt, so I added those too.
