The first is a queen size (88x102) sampler made from Maywood Studios Fabrics. I used the same quilting motif for the pieced blocks, a different design for the setting floral blocks, and freehanded the hearts in the sashing. The second picture shows the true colors of the quilt - the sun was shining through the first picture.

The second quilt is a free pattern from Hoffmann called TradeWinds using all Batiks. I added another row to the length so it wouldn't be square. This is for my son-in-law who loves orange. It measures 60x66. I used an all-over panto design for the quilting called swoops and swirls.

The third quilt is a basic Chevron, all Batiks, that I made the finished HST @ 5" and the overall size 68x78. The second picture shows my first attempt at ruler work. Needless to say I've got a long way for improvement. It doesn't show up (a good thing) but the borders are quilted with several sizes of circles (rulers again). This is for my other son-in-law that likes blue.

great quilts!!!!

All three are just beautiful.

Very nice...thanks for sharing.

I LOVE your quilts! Each one a beauty and so different from the other. Very fun to look at joyce. Thanks for sharing them with us.

Those are all beautiful (handsome for the guys?). You've had some busy hands!

Joyce, they're really beautiful. I like your aesthetic sense very much. Orange, in particular, is tricky to pull off and you made it look rich and elegant with your color combination. Brava!

Three lovely quilts there. Well done.

You did a really nice job on these three quilts, I love the romantic look of the first one!
