I am still thinking about it! My DIL is expecting our 4th DGD in July and, of course, I will make her quilts and things. I talked to her tonight and asked her if she had decided on nursery colors yet. She said yes--orange, purple, yellow and brown. I waited for her to laugh--she didn't. Now what kind of quilt can I possibly make in those colors? What a combination!

It was a coverlet with 15 different hand designed and embroidered quilt with the different places we went to visit in the 45 years we were married. The center block was our home, family, little things that only meant something to us. In the lower right corner was an embroidery of the Little Brown Church in the Vale where we were married.
My husband passed away this past March 2nd and on his casket was the quilt that he loved. And now it is on my quilt rack. That is my favorite quilt. Edie

The saddle blanket is beautiful and its my favorite color too!!
I love making quilts! I make charity quilts for kids and also our wounded soldiers. I am the keeper of the scraps for my group, all the pieces came out of the scrap boxes.
The first quilt is my own variation, the pattern is friendship star; it went to a soldier. The 2nd one is "Crayon Box", a free Bonnie Hunter. I used flannels scraps for this one.

I made a beautiful quilt called "Mad at Willie" after having a giant spat with my DH. I went into my sewing room and locked the door and stayed there for 2 days and made a convergence quilt with lots of cutting and sewing. It came out awesome!
Yes, my sewing room had a bathroom and I ate my chocolate stash! LOL
