My first two tops. I hope you like them - cc welcome
6 Attachment(s)
Hello board members. Well after 12 months of procrastinating two weeks ago I went into the room I have prepared for quilting and started making two quilts for two of my grandchildren.
Bonnie is 5 and I have chosen a Snuggle Pot theme. Hers is the green one. Angus is 2 and he will have an Octopus quilt to cuddle up to. His is blue. At this stage they are only tops - this is a great achievement for me. Guild meeting tomorrow and I'm hoping to get some advice on quilting them and applying their names and a fussy cut of each theme using appliqué. I intend using cotton batting; stitch in the ditch and maybe (?) some free motion work. CC definitely welcome. All the best |
These quilts are beautiful the grand kids will love them. They are simple the colors are mellow and go well together . This is class and it is hard to find these days.
|
They are darling. And the grandchildren will love that you made something special for them.
|
I love the clean crisp lines of these tops. Very nicely done!
|
Very nice!!
|
Your grandkids are going to love their quilts you are making for them! Great job - they are both very nice.
|
Very nice quilts, your points match exactly! I thought I was the worlds worst procrastinator but may have met my match.
|

Wow, your piecing is perfect, and the quilts are adorable. I'm sure your quilting will be equally impressive. Please post when finished.

You do good work and the littles will be thrilled. :thumbup:

I love them and I bet they will love them too.
|
Love the fabrics and the quilts. I've been wondering where you were. When I joined the QB I enjoyed seeing your work. Glad to see you on here again and that you're still quilting.

O these are so pretty they well love there quilts and
you need some mighty fine stiching !!!:thumbup: |
The grands will love them. I also like the fact that you used Aussie motifs.
|
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I'm so pleased you ladies approve of my initial efforts. It's hard to get the colour right - the green quilt looks a little different "in the flesh".
Any tips please on posting image files. One of them doesn't line up. I don't understand. Can you post words under each image? All the best... |

Debbie I'm working tonight on the "flower garden" quilt I was working on when I first joined. Not going to let it beat me. Thank you for you kind words. |

:thumbup: Great Job Mal, I'm sure your grandchildren will love snuggling under them for years to come.
I also looked at that fabric a little while ago at Spotlight....I was so so tempted but had to check myself as we were heading to the Sates for a months holiday.... |
Very nice color pallette - love love your quilts
|
oh those are wonderfully done. love the prints too. haven't seen those before.
|
Procrastination sometimes can be very good......gives you time to really think things thur; nice job on your quilts.
|
I like them very much. And I'm impressed with the points on your HST.
|
Mal, I love your quilts. I am also glad to see you post, as I was following some of your posts....can't remember when...a while back, and I was afraid you had given up when I didn't see any more. I guess I just missed them. At that time you were asking about the cost of quilting and the time it takes, I think. You also had a pattern and fabric you were going to use. Did I miss pictures of that quilt?

These are great! The grandkids will love them!

Okay, Mal, I see now that the quilt I was thinking of is a "work in progress." I look forward to seeing it ...even pictures of it as you are working on it. :) Dina |
