    Default My last 2 Finished Quilts

    I was trying desperatly to finish 3 quilts before the end of the year but it just isn't going to happen so I have to be happy with 2 and I will start the New Year working on my PHD (projects half done)
    The first quilt is machine appliqued, my DD started it and Mum finished it for her. The original pattern was call Midnight in the Tropics and was designed by a local lady. We changed the colours a lot and called in Afternoon in the Tropics.
    The second quilt I made for my DH, he hasn't seen it yet, I just finished the binding last night. There are 15 machine embroidered eagles 61/2 inches.
    I quilted both quilts, they each took me about 6 days and the eagle used 19 bobbins on my domestic sewing machine so there is a lot of quilting.
    Hope you like them

    These are both gorgeous! Whatever the colors were on the first one, I sure like what you chose. Well done! And your quilting is wonderful.

    I like them, they are both wonderful. I really like seeing people putting the embroidery on the quilts too.

    Both are gorgeous. I don't know which is my favorite. Bet your DH will love his quilt. That's one of the best looking embroidered quilts I've seen.
