My First "Completed" Quilt


I've wanted to blog about this quilt a month ago, but then it wouldn't have been a surprise to Amanda and Ben. We had them this year for Christmas. I was so excited to give this to them!! I talked about it with so many people, that I almost let it slip so many times when talking to Amanda on the phone.
I hope it brings much warmth to them while enjoying the games. Here's to you, Amanda & Ben..

I am a Utah man, sir, and I live across the green.Our gang, it is the jolliest that you have ever seen.Our coeds are the fairest and each one's a shining star.Our yell, you hear it ringing through the mountains near and far.
CHORUS

Who am I, sir? A Utah man am I A Utah man, sir, and will be till I die; Ki!Yi!We're up to snuff; we never bluff,We're game for any fuss,No other gang of college mendare meet us in the muss.So fill your lungs and sing it out andshout it to the sky,We'll fight for dear old Crimson,for a Utah man am I.
VERSE

And when we prom the avenue, all lined up in a row,And arm in arm and step in time as down the street we go.No matter if a freshman green, or in a senior's gown,The people all admit we are the warmest gang in town.
CHORUS
VERSE

We may not live forever on this jolly good old sphere,But while we do we'll live a life of merriment and cheer,And when our college days are o'er and night is drawing nigh,With parting breath we'll sing that song:"A Utah Man Am I".
CHORUS

Great job!

Ben said...

BEST. GIFT. EVER.

but let me say that, as much of an avid U fan as I am, the second and third verses to the fight song are pretty lame. good thing hardly anybody knows anything but the words to the chorus anyway - or when we yell "Go Utes!" at the end... :)
