Default My first, second and third quilts

I've spent some time perusing through pictures of everyone's quilts, and thought I would go ahead and share the first three I have finished. They are not nearly as intricate as everyone else's, or as gorgeous, but I'm still quite proud of them.

My first, for a friend who is having her third baby sometime in May:

My second, one of three Christmas quilts for one of my nieces, from the leftovers of the baby blanket:

[ATTACH=CONFIG]511174[/ATTACH]

And my third, a small lap quilt for us to throw over our couch, made to match our throw pillows:

I'm already working on my fourth, fifth, and sixth quilts - quickly getting the fourth done.

ETA: Sorry for the extra attachment...not sure how that happened.

How beautiful, very subtle and modern. Your two felines look pretty cool too.

They are my little babies, my quilt/fabric inspectors, and my #1 fans of my quilts - I can never keep them off, even on WIPs!

Hello Knitsnpearls; your quilts are very nice indeed, so clean looking and gentle colouring. Don't worry about everyone else's being different styles or different levels of intricacy; we all learn from other people but must work within our own skill levels. Some like pastels and others like bright gaudy fabrics. Welcome to the Board.

Beautiful quilts! I love the colors your used and the modern look of the pattern.

In my opinion, quilts don't always have to be intricate. Simple patterns can do a beautiful looking quilt! Bravo

beautiful cats by the way. I miss my two cats. They were my babies also!

Beautiful soft colors for a baby quilt. I'm sure your niece loved hers!! I really like the colors and pattern you chose for your throw on the couch. I think you did a fantastic job on all of them!! Your kitties are so pretty. I know all about the "help" they offer. LOL!! Mine was the same way and I miss him every day. He went to help the angels with their quilts March 18, 2013.
