Thank goodness for John's mom Joy who put together most of the quilts.
We got together on a Saturday and quilted for several hours. 
Quite a few people showed up to help, including Jake's YM leader and his sons from our ward (all watching Jake so intently).
John's sister, Julie (along with Jyson's help), stamped cards to go with the blankets.
John & I got into the quilting as well (with his brother Nate & wife Sarah).
Finished...23 quilts.
Delivery to Primary Children's Medical Center on Jan. 24 (2 days before his b-day).
Jake decided that day to earn an Eagle Palm as well (for 5 additional merit badges). He called his Scout leaders and completed several. His final merit badge was basketry. John's dad, Bob, is the merit badge counselor so Jake went over there the night before his birthday to weave a basket with his grandpa.Court of Honor where Jake received all his merit badges.
He passed his Board of Review, so we're now planning his Eagle Court of Honor. Congrats Jake!

Awesome! Way to go Jake!
Congrats Jake that is awesome!!!!
Congratulations Jake! That is awesome! My brother got a job because he had his Eagle. He was apply for a finance job. My mom told him to include on his resume that he was an Eagle Scout. My brother thought that was dumb! But did it anyway. When it came down to hiring, they were debating between my brother and one other guy. They both had the exact same qualifications. Then the man who was hiring noticed that my brother was an Eagle Scout and hired him for that reason. He said he knew how hard it was to earn an Eagle and that you have to be hard working and dedicated. So it showed my brother's work ethic and he got the job! So way to go Jake! You never know how it may help you in the future!
