I am trying to become a quilter, but it's hard. LOL Here are my first lap top quilts I made as gifts for my family and friends. They loved them, but you all know this is not "real quilting"..RIGHT?

This is my friend, not me!

This is the back of the Bike Quilt, I named Two Wheels or Two Heels, cause the back is motifs of shoes!

Looks like real quilting to me. Quilters are just crafty people with a preference for fabric. You are officially one of us!

they look great and thats real quilting.

every quilt doesn't have to be all complicated piecing and quilting motifs for you to be a quilter.

Let's see what makes a quilter? Someone who put fabric together, sandwiches it, sews it to make a beautiful quilt. That is whether it is a panel or fabric cut up. I think you are a quilter and you have done a wonderful with these quilts.
