It's a Counted Quilts Pattern. By, Lisa Muilenburg. Comes in 3 sizes which I thought was pretty neat.
Had to get a jump start on it because he will be here in a week to stay for a month. And I can't work on it while he's here.. I will never get it back if he sees it. I need it done before end of July. 
On the bottom, I am going to spell out his name using the Primitive Gatherings pattern. I think also, those come in different sizes too. Someone told me that but I haven't open the pattern up yet to check. If not, I will enlarge them because it says "mini" alphabet quilt on it. But... 42 1/2" isn't really mini.
Then I have to frame it out & almost sure I am putting minky on the back. Depends on if I find the perfect color for it. So that means I have to order it.. Then I still have to quilt it too. That's why I had to get started early. My summer vacation is gonna fly by with a blink of an eye and it hasn't even begun yet.

FYI... Please go to Lisa's pattern corrections before starting alphabet quilt. There are a few cutting corrections. Ask me how I know. I've made three alphabet quilts for grandkids kindergarten teachers.

OMG Terry... Thank you!
I've have this pattern and the fabric, just need to make the quilt. DIL #2 choose a different quilt for her baby boy due in August. Maybe DIL #1 December baby will be a boy and he can have the quilt. I am also going to make the quilt green but embroider the numbers 42/40 on it so it matches one of our tractors. Blessings, Gretchen
