I really love your quilts! Are the flowers appliqued? Haven't seen that pattern before. I went to a school that had Eagles as the mascot, so there were Eagles on lots of bags, jackets, quilts, etc. Haven't seen one as pretty as yours! Seems like it is a Jacob's Ladder variation? You should be proud of these!

The first quilt is machine appliqued, my DD started it and Mum finished it for her. The original pattern was call Midnight in the Tropics and was designed by a local lady. We changed the colours a lot and called in Afternoon in the Tropics. The second quilt I made for my DH, he hasn't seen it yet, I just finished the binding last night. There are 15 machine embroidered eagles 61/2 inches. I quilted both quilts, they each took me about 6 days and the eagle used 19 bobbins on my domestic sewing machine so there is a lot of quilting. Hope you like them |
What a wonderful New Year's resolution!

Your quilts are beautiful! You shouldn't feel bad when you make beautiful quilts like this. Two in a year is great!
Charlotte I wish it was only 2 in the past year, but these are the only ones I have posted pics of (naughty me) I made 15 single bed quilts for victims of Cyclone Yasi, and had another 6 big finishes but they haven't been quilted yet:o But these were the ones that I really wanted to finish |
You must really like to piece. Beautiful work.
