Wow! You were brave making a t-shirt quilt for your first one-I hear they are hard to work with sometimes. They both came out great!

The t-shirt quilt is a great idea! Both quilts are wonderful!

Your rail fence quilt looks very three dimensional. The yellow really jumps out and the orange on both sides of the yellow looks great. Well done!

debcavan 04-22-2011 06:02 PM

I love that second quilt. Love the design and the colors.

The T-shirt quilt will be so treasured

emmy 04-22-2011 06:14 PM

Your two quilts are wonderful. Neatest t shirt quilt I've seen and the borders on the Rail Fence really make it 'pop'.

MDMPanther 04-22-2011 06:18 PM

Really nice and I love how you did the squares in the border of the second one!!! :thumbup:

Your son is a mathematician? How cool is that? What great quilts!! You did a great job for your first two. Congratulations and welcome from the fine state of Washington. My DH has cousins in ND.

I think both quilts are great. Your son will continue to treasure his quilt. My husband still has the quilt his mom made for him. I won't tell his age but I will say its been many years now. :):):)
