Quilts !

We made them, altho the girls did not really wanted to sew ... they decided it was more work than they remembered from before.  That was OK ... we had fun.  I got out my box of fat quarters and they each picked out the fabrics they liked.  Then I cut the squares and the girls arranged the 6 inch squares to their own delight.  Here they are:




 Above is Madison's design of purples, aquas and greens. She laid it out in a graduating pattern.

Below is Emily's quilt top.  It looks like a very haphazard scrappy quilt, but she has a very definite system & pattern to her design.




 I love them both ... the quilts and the girls !!!  I am finally back at it .... quilting.  One of my daughters has asked for a quilt in browns and blues.  I can't wait to start that one .... she has never asked for one of her own, so I feel very honored.  This is all very good !

    Hi Joanne,
    You must be so proud of your granddaughters! I think they did a fabulous job on joining the squares and even picking the fabrics. The first one looks like a partial trip around the world, and the other scrappy one looks like it could fit a bed beautifully. Will you be quilting them for the girls? I hope they look back on this and someday get the quilting 'bug' again. I know lots of love and work went into those quilts! Thanks for sharing!!!
