They are all gorgeous but I have to say the pink is my favorite. Pink makes everything better.

The brown is my FAV but only cuz brown is my favorite color hehe. The others are beautiful as well though. :) My DH would absolutely LOVE the brown one as well...he would say it is "manly" lol. Very nice work!

It was the one from Quilts for Kids....the large blocks are cut 6.5" and the patchworks are each 3.5". I think it is also known as a Linus (?) project quilt size.

Those are wonderful quilts!

I am also a Realtor, so everyone who buys a home from me receives a lap quilt as their house-warming present.

dglvr 10-27-2009 07:22 AM

Nice. Wow you did great. I would have to say the brown is my favorite
but the kids one would have to be 2nd. Love all of them actually.
Very nice.

joeyoz 10-27-2009 09:03 AM

Those are great. Love them all, but my favorite has to be the brown sampler.

Great job. :D :D :D

Chele 10-27-2009 09:05 AM

Deb, love all 3 quilts. Nice job.

Harmony 10-27-2009 10:33 AM

I love your brown sampler--looks so rich, like good coffee. And the pink one is --well, it's pink! What more is there to say? Great work on all of them!

littlehud 10-27-2009 05:37 PM

Those are all wonderful quilts. I love them all, but my favorite is the kitty one. Great fabric.

wordmama 10-27-2009 05:55 PM

I really love the brown one. I've had a brown quilt brewing in my mind to use up some stash fabrics. But they're all fantastic! I've said it before--you can always win me over with pink!

sewnsewer2 10-27-2009 06:06 PM

Very pretty! Love the brown one the most. This would be great for a guy. What pattern is it?

MollieSue 10-27-2009 06:52 PM

All three are absolutely wonderful!!! :D :D

earthwalker 10-27-2009 06:54 PM

Love them all, especially the pussycats.

Nita 10-28-2009 04:12 AM

Hi Deb ~ I just LOVE that sampler quilt and am in awe that you put all that work into giving it away to new homeowners ...... Next time I buy a house, I want you for my realtor!

Seriously, though, can you tell me what pattern did you use? I am hoping to start a sampler quilt this winter and yours would be perfect.

BTW, I am from Fayetteville, NY, so we are kind of neighbors

Near Syracuse??? The brown sampler is made with 10 different 12" blocks. Starting top L to R: Log Cabin, Nine O'Clock without the nine patch, Antique Tile, 4 Patch with Log Cabin sides, next one was just made from scraps - I am sure there is a name, but I didn't use a pattern, Next is Belle Fleur from Janet in About.com, Pineapples - the tute from our own Patrice, Arkansas CrossRoads, Queen Charlotte's Crown and Lousianna. Most of them are found on Quilter's Cache. If the blocks weren't 12 inches, I just found a similar design in 12 inch and adapted the cuts. Glad you like it! Didn't let on that this entire quilt was from scraps. :roll:

Those are great . Love the brown one.

Yes, near Syracuse ...... Takes me only 20 mins to drive into work (I am a nurse at St Joe's Hosp) Anyways, thanks for the "how to" regarding that beautiful quilt of yours. I have never attempted to make a quilt without an actual pattern, per se. I'm not much of a "wing it" type of gal. and when you refer to adapting cuts to make the block 12"??? Yipes! I guess I need to plug along with my simple quilts for a bit longer until I get enough quilting experience and confidance to tackle a sampler.

When I say adapt, - I simply mean that if the block that I like is an 8 inch or a 10 inch, I look at a 12 inch block that may have the same hst, or four-patch blocks. For example, in our Fall Swap that ColettaKay organized, the block I chose was Autumn Tints 2 - which is an 8 inch block. It is a four patch with a larger solid square. I just looked at the 12 inch blocks that had the four patches in it (I think the size of the small blocks went from 2.5 to 3.5 and the large block went from 4.5 to 6.5 for cutting) I am NOT a math whiz, and will look for the easiest way to do things. Eddie posted a great way to do triangles....in the Fig and Plum Diamonds post....I can't wait to try THAT!

Shandy 10-28-2009 06:08 AM

Yes, I did free motion on the pink and the sampler, and corner to corners on the Quilt for kids.
