Here are pictures of two of my most recent finished quilts! The feeling of accomplishment once I finish a project is something I will never tire of....maybe that's why I like quilting so much!?
This was my first attempt at a t-shirt quilt -- my mother-in-law came to visit a few months ago and brought with her a stack of my sister-in-law's old t-shirts cut into various sized squares -- she was hoping that I would be able to fashion some sort of quilt of the shirts for my sister-in-law's birthday (Happy Birthday!). I was certainly intimidated by the task, but willing to give it a go -- this is what I ended up making. I wish I could have done more with the quilting, but the t-shirts were difficult to sew, and I thought I better leave well enough alone.

All in all, I am very pleased with how it turned out! The t-shirts made this quilt incredibly soft and cuddly, which is always a huge plus in my book!
This next quilt was commissioned by a good friend of mine. She had bought one of the very first quilts I ever made and fell in love with it...however, she was looking for something bigger in size that she and her family could curl up with on the couch and that she could use to stay warm during her morning Bible studies. She was immediately attracted to Kaffee Fassett's fabric designs -- and I am so glad that she was! This was my first time working with these fabrics, and it was a pleasure!
