Mr. Random Number Generator determined that commenter #21 should get some good fortune, too.

How about Backside 180? Ask your son if he likes it.
Thanks for playing along, Robin. Some neutrals will be on their way to you once I get your mailing address.
And my son's good fortune was that I met my goal of finishing the piecing of his quilt today. As I was sewing the final seams, the name came to me. While I love Sandy Bottoms, the quilt isn't for Sandy, and it has some of my bottoms and Jason's bottoms and Donald's bottoms and even a neighbor's bottoms in it, too, so I'm going to have to save that name for another quilt. Skate Dreams captures the essence of the quilt, but it just didn't resonate with me. But then it hit me - HALF PIPE DREAMS. It's a play on "pipe dreams", and the skaters among you will recognize that a half pipe is a structure used in skateboarding. There is small one at the skatepark that my children beg me to take them to any time the sun shines.
I present to you HALF PIPE DREAMS!

It is wonderful to win the Mom of the year award!
there is nothing like the approval of a child. there is also no reason it needs clipped before it gets cuddled under either. cw
I LOVE IT! Glad you were able to meet your deadline
Now, that is a quilt a son could love! Good going, Mom!
I made one rag quilt and used those spring scissors and still my hand hurt. On one of the lists that I read, someone suggested putting a small cutting mat right up against the seam line on top of the quilt with the seam alowance on top of the mat and using a rotary cutter to make the fringe. Sounded like a good idea to me maybe you can try that idea?
The quilt is very nice and will probaly be very warm.
Great job! A quilt made by Mom is like a hug that goes on forever.
It's wonderful Erin and looks like it was meant to be snuggled under and loved until it's falling apart. Great job!
