Each one is very different and gorgeous! Love the way the ocean quilt was done, bet your granddaughter loved it too. Love the flowers on the black background, it is striking! The white with the flowers is so delicate. Love the fade of the blocks

the ocean quilt was my first bargello, wanted to give the technique a try, when my granddaughter called me and said..."grandma, i really want a new quilt this year, i like blue and dolphins..." i thought it would be the perfect design for an ocean...then i looked and looked for ocean life to applique onto it, never did find a big dolphin (there are lots of little ones) but i found this fabulous big sea turtle and octipus...although they really dont show up on the picture i also added swarkovski crystal (bubbles) here and there rising up from the depths...she LOVEs her quilt :D it has a supper soft navy minkee back.

definetly saw the turtle, the killer whales, the dolphins and the other fish. The coral is beautiful too. Love the way you brought things out into the border. Sorry could not see the crystals but that is ok, the quilt is so spectacular that I don't really need to see them anyway. Love the idea of the minki back must be so snuggley. But truthfully you should enter them all in a show, they are all so beautiful.
