My grandson Jeff is now old enough to treat his quilt with the care it deserves.
He was only 7 when I made it and he hardly remembered it.
Each of the Millennium quilts I made for my 8 grandchildren had 2000 different squares of fabric.
The blocks were similar but not identical. A lot of the fabrics came from trading with about 500 different people all around the world. I would stack 8 similar fabrics as I made the 25 patch blocks. If I was using my own fabrics then there would be 8 identical fabrics in a stack.
I then designed each one on my design wall in my studio. The borders are Jinny Beyer Millennium fabric. Each one had a different colored border, although some of the cousins had the same border as there were less than 8 different border fabrics.

Jeff's Millennium quilt looks AWESOME!! I'm sure he's happy to have it (even if he didn't remember it.)
Again, these quilts are stunning!
I love this quilt! What a great job you did with design and color placement! I hope he appreciates it.
