Finishing Quilts
I finished up a couple of quilts lately. The two above were made for the twins. About a year ago, they both picked out their own fabric. Bob the Builder for twin2 and Safari Animals for twin1. The are very appropriate. I was a bit afraid that their interests would change while I finished them up, but their infatuation still continue. I finished the opposing side of both with a pirate map theme. Both boys are very proud of their quilts and so am I. They love almost everything I make for them. As I was finishing twin1's quilt, the toddler asked where his quilt was. Since my mom has made him a beautiful quilt, I thought that I wouldn't make one for him. I guess I was wrong. I hope the store still has some more of the fabric to make the rainbow.
Here is another quilt that only took 2 1/2 years to complete. It was the second quilt I started and his a bit too intricate for my taste, although I love the pin wheel pattern. The embroidery took the majority of the time, though. The result, however, is beautiful. This one was made special for my mother and father in-law.
I still have one more quilt for my husband that needs finishing. It is all pieced together, but needs the filling, quilting, and binding. Then, I'll have to get started on one for the toddler. That will be a hard one because he doesn't really seem to have any specific passion. I think he will have to go to the store with me!!
