I made this for my son Elliott.The blocks are top stitched with glow in the dark thread which took 6 spools of thread. In the quilting guild that I belong to we have what we call friendship blocks. It works like this we choose the block and then the guild makes the blocks for you. You can provide the fabric or not.I provided the fabric and the group just made the stars because I wanted to sew them with the glow in the dark thread to make them the same. It's a fun way to do a quilt.
Tomorrow he starts a new job working at the YMCA as a preschool teacher helper. This is a job that I think he will do very well at and I am so very proud of him.
Elliott and Baby Grace
Elliott being silly at one of my Cut Up meetings trying on bridle dress tops at Christmas time. 
Elliott's senior photo.Being a mom of a child with special needs is not easy but things like Elliott getting a new job that he is going to ROCK at made everything that I have done to help him get to this space in time a good thing.I'm proud of both of us we did it together just Elliott and I.

Wow!! what a stunning quilt. You sure come up with great ideas. Glow in the dark thread, never knew of such a thing.
Congrats to Elliot on his upcoming job. I know the kids will just adore him. And congrats to you too.
Yes you have done a great job raising him to be the wonderful man he is to-day. Also your other boys as well.
He would've made a pretty girl also. He'll get you for that photo.
Baby Grace is so cute.
lots of love,
Julie from Australia
