Four Quilts Finished
 
4 Attachment(s)
The first quilt is one of the first quilts I ever made (I have been quilting for about 3 years). I recently got an Avante 18, so now I am working on quilting all the "tops" I made.

The second quilt I made for a dear friend who is getting married. Her fiance lives in Hawaii, so she spent a lot of time there. I wanted the quilt to have a feel of Hawaii. On the back I appliqued a large red heart with their names and wedding date.

The third quilt I made for my daughter who requested oranges/browns.
The fourth quilt is for my other daughter who requested blues/browns. They asked for big blocks, didn't want what they called "busy designs" neither of them are quilters!

Thanks for looking.

Wow! You have been one busy little bee! That first one is one of your first ones? I'm impressed because it's beautiful! They all are just stunning & you should be so proud of all of them. I know your friend & both of your DD's will love & treasure theirs for years to come!

Robin, all the quuilts are beautiful, but the last one is my favorite. What is the pattern called? Thanks for sharing.Mary

Oh wow, is that vintage bark cloth in the third quilt, with the blue blocks?! Looks just like some I have collected.
Love the quilts!

It was a free pattern from Hoffmanfabrics.com called Seaside Cottage. I had to make four of the pattern to get a king size quilt for my daughters bed. I will try and attach the link here.

Hi Jan, are you referring to the second quilt or the last quilt? Those are the two blue quilts. I am not sure what vintage bark cloth is and I have only been quilting about 3 years so I doubt it is vintage bark cloth. The last quilt is all batiks. It has the blue blocks with the brown frames around each block. The second quilt was made from fabrics I actually had in my stash. The blue hawaiian fabric came from a friend who used to own a quilt shop. The other fabrics came from a LQS that I picked up a couple of years ago. What is bark cloth????? Something new for me to learn!!

All 4 are great, I agree it is hard to choose a favorite. They will all be appreciated and loved.

Love that third one with the grey sashing, such warm coppery tones! You did a great job on all of them though!

Do you know what brand of fabric was used in the third quilt of the orange and browns? All are very nice quilts.
