Just finished for my younger(baby) brother
 

Heres a quilt I just finished for my younger brother Bradley. The pattern is called Ellens star from quilterscache web sight/ I have 6 brothers & 2 sisters(including me-9 in all). I'm the oldest. I'm close to my family, but some brothers not so close. So I've made quilts for my 2 sisters & my younger(baby) brother. The next 3 quilts, that I will make is for my wife San Juanita sisters & husbands. Just 3 sisters. And then from there I'll start on me again. And evenutally make a quilt to start hand quilting. I have 1, I'm hand quilting now. I'm a 1/4 way done of working on it. Take care everyone Don-isewman[ATTACH=CONFIG]552019[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]552020[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]552021[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]552022[/ATTACH]The 1st 2 pictures are of my brothers quilt. And the next 2 pictures are for my 2 sisters-Kathy & Sandra

They're beautiful. You do such great work. Question; Do you use a hoop or frame or hoopless?

I really like this one. I love the green material.

wonderful quilts

That first quilt is such an interesting pattern.

all very nicely done

Don such another beauty you are amazing!!!

As always beautiful quilts, and you sure do stay busy. :)

Stars are a personal favorite of mine; I just love the way they are 'offset' in that first quilt, Don! Your prolific work just amazes me. :thumbup:

Love your quilts Don and your journey into hand quilting will be a challenge but do-able; also love all the advice you give on machines. Thanks for sharing.

How nice! Each one similar and yet has it's own personality. Wonderful pattern on the first one.

Wonderful Don, love that you gave us the pattern and the story behind the quilts~my fav is the top quilt, really beautifully done. Thank you.

Wonderful quilts! You did a great job.

I always love your work, but especially that star in a star one.

Very beautiful. I love your quilts!

Your quilts are always beautiful. You have really been busy.

Don you do amazing work. BrendaK

More beauties, Don!

Oh my gosh, they are lovely.

Looking good....

Don you are so prolific I can't keep up. Your family are blessed having you.

Very nice work Don. I am currently making quilts for all my nieces and nephews for a total of 19. Have 9 left to go. Am utilizing my scraps for some. It's fun to have a specific use for the quilts.

Beautiful work!!!

Love, love, the stars in the stars. Like Jan, they are my favorite. Your quilts are always so perfectly pieced and yet you crank them out quickly. WOW.

That Ellen's Star quilt pattern is amazing. I've never seen one like that before. Sure is beautiful.
I hope you make quilts for all your brothers. Just keep them in a safe place and they can have them after you are gone.

One question...do you ever sleep? You couldn't possibly and still get this much done. I am inspired by your work. I'm looking up the first quilt pattern. It would be perfect for a Fourth of July quilt. :)

I LOVE the first quilt! That green really makes the quilt. How in the world do you get so much done!? Keep them coming.

I couldn't put it any better than what Jan said. You are so prolific and your fabric selection makes these quilts just lovely! Keep up the excellent workmanship!

Nice quilts. Did you use your new Featherweight?

You have such a great talent for creating wonderful quilts. The fabrics you pick always compliment the patterns.

they are all so nice!!!

Amazing job!

They are both awesome...

Beautiful Ellen's Star! First time I have seen that pattern. It is nice. The others are lovely too.

Don you did it again with your quilts but the first is my favorite, I love the green you used. it off set the stars and the stars are always a favorite to me

Great looking quilts. The off set stars one is my favorite!

Great job on the quilts.

Ditto from me!
