Said 'Who is the man making diamonds out of Cole?' The man pushing buttons on remote control

This twin Tarragon quilt is called from Saint to Red Devil as the recipient just graduated from the St. Stephen's and St. Agnes School and will be matriculating to Dickinson College in the fall. 



He loves basketball both on the court and in the stands.  His paternal grandfather played for the University of Kentucky Wildcats back in the 1950s and the entire family are Wildcat fans. I was given a bit of UK fabric for the back but black strips had to be added to make it wide enough.



The recipient;s great grandfather (the father of the paternal grandmother) was Congressman Frederick Schwengel, R-IA who served in the US House of Representatives for 8 terms.  


The paternal grandparents built a beautiful weekend retreat on the high banks on one of the many bays of the Potomac River.  It is amazing to sit on the back porch and watch bald eagles swoop down to the water to catch dinner.
