Sherry's Quilt
This quilt is so rich and warm in person. I don't think the pictures do it justice. I had to make a quilt without buying any fabric...I wasn't sure I would have a backing! But we pieced enough to make the back coordinate with the front. I'm so glad we went with this instead of something that didn't match the front at all! I quilted in free motion all over, a quick and easy pattern.
Minky for Twins
I really wanted to try Minky...not so much anymore.  What a pain to sew with!  I was going to make a rag quilt with the squares that I cut, but then I found out minky doesn't fray like flannel.  So I decided to do the top in minky and use a flannel backing.  Sewing the top was hard because the squares shift on you even when you pin them.  But once I got it on the quilting machine, it quilted easily.  No batting on these as they are think and warm already and so soft!  I love the finsihed product but no the piecing process!  As I was sewing the tops (especially the second one) I told myself, "NO MORE MINKY!"  But after I finished the them, they are so wonderful.....I think it's like having a baby - after a while you forget about the delivery and want another!
These are for a set of twins at church, I thought the "almost matchiness" was perfect!
I put a flannel monkey pattern on the back, next time though it should be something darker.
Une Belle Fille
Lindsay's quilt is French for - A Beautiful Girl.  We went with the french words since it has a Paris fabric as the main one.  She sewed all the small blocks together and then did all the ironing for me as I finished it.  This was her first quilt to quilt by herself.  She did a lovely feather panto on it.  We appliqued the words on the cream after we used the cricut to cut the fabric.
