Quilts 

Quilt #1.

July 6th 2006

I used all of our old blue jeans.

I am letting the seams fray for a more "ragged" look.

I love it because there is a story in every square.

I found great bandana looking fabric for the back.

I think it turned out great for my first quilt ever. :)

I Have recently decided I wanted

to venture into quilt making....

Here are my quilts..

lets see how they progress.

Quilt #2

Sept 1st 2006

This is the quilt I made

for Brooke.

I like the idea of recycling fabrics, so I used all the receiving blankets that we used when she was just a tiny baby.

I backed it w/ a schmooshy soft pink fleece fabric.

Quilt #3

Sept 9th 2006

Chris turned 14 this month.

It was his turn for a quilt.

He did NOT want it to look too "quilty" he wanted a

manly-man quilt...

He loves all things Camo...

So here is his black and Camo quilt.  I made it twin sized, backed w/ black.   By special request,

it even has a "secret" pocket.

Quilt #4

Oct 1st 2006

Craig's turn for a quilt.

Craig is the fisherman of the house.

So this was the quilt for him.

The lighter fabric is covered with fish, bobbers, and fishing lures.

He LOVES it.

Quilt #5

(12/4/2007)

This is Bryans Quilt

He wanted a Red White & Blue quilt.

So, thats what he got!

This quilt took a little longer than planned because I messed it up and had to rip it apart and start over...

That was fun! NOT!

The dark blue squares have stars on them and it is backed in a navy blue fabric.

He loves it!

Quilt #6

2/20/2008

This quilt was made for sweet Ben.

Half of the flannel squares were from a fall flannel fabric swap from HomesteadingToday.com.

The warm Fall colors are perfect for a

manly-man boy.

I love the rag-style frayed edges of this quilt.

But more importantly.. He loves it!!

oh...  

By the way...

I made this quilt in 25 1/2 hours start to finish!  not bad!

Quilt #7 will be for my

Spoiled-Rotten Sister Bethany.

It's gonna be a T-Shirt Quilt

made out of her old favorite

T-Shirts..

Oh My.! 

Wish me luck!
