Very pretty quilts. I like them all, but especially the outdoorsy guy quilt.

You did a fabulous job on all three and it looks like the "quilting bug" has gotten to you too. The recipients will love them.

Thanks everyone! These comments taught me something. Even if I don't love a project, I should lovingly see it through because somebody else will! I nearly abandoned the pink top. My daughter picked the colors and then decided she wasn't that excited about it, and they really aren't my style. I had the blocks paritally together for a long time and just recently threw them together paying no attention to matching the seams because it was just going to be a FMQ practice quilt. Now I wish I had taken more time with it.

Part of the appeal for me with the third quilt is how aboslutely ridiculous they look https://cdn.quiltingboard.com/images...es/biggrin.png I laugh everytime I see it. It's also what inspired me to try quilting. I was joking with a friend about how silly the fabric was, told her I had to buy it and had no idea what I'd do with it, maybe make some throw pillows. She begged me to make her some too. I decided to try my hand at quilting! Now I have 5 works in progress and 10 times as many swirling around my head.

I'm itching to start the next step but the Juki I just got has a defective pedal....so its just been sitting there taunting me until I can get a replacement.

Ha! Your third quilt is great. I love Alexander Henry! I like your layout - it makes great use of fussy cuts.

I was trying to explain this line of fabric to a friend "Hi, we're firefighters/woodsmen/cops/sportsmen/wolves/construction workers/etc - without shirts and just posing against stuff for no reason."

Wow! Great job on all three.

I love them all but the first one is my favourite

I really like the colors with the purples and blacks what a great combination.
