Here's some pics of a quilt I made for my oldest daughter, Meagan. She naps quite often in the family room, so was dragging her other quilt back and forth between her bedroom and the family room. So now she has a "dedicated napping quilt". :) She picked out the fabric collection, as well as the border, backing, and binding fabric from the same collection.

I made it from a Moda jelly roll of "Tranquility" fabric and it measures 52" x 76". The pattern is called "Pandora's Box" and is from the "Jelly Roll Quilts" book by Pam & Nicky Lintott. This was my first attempt at free-motion quilting and I REALLY like it. :D Now I wonder why it took me so long to get up the nerve to try it.

I think this looks so warm and welcome looking, great quilt. Lucky girl.

Your quilt looks great! Your stippling is moving along just fine!! Bet this is one she might have to share w/others!LOL Skeat

Beautiful quilt!!! How wonderful she picked out her own fabrics :D :D :D

I'm sure she's thrilled with it! There's nothing like a nap with a great quilt over you! I find myself using that book quite a bit! I love your fabrics!

I really like that!
Can I go and nap at your house and you can make me a napping quilt too?? :)

What a lucky girl!! You do such fantastic work Eddie! Great job on FMQ, I don't have the nerve to try it yet, hoping someday... :D

Great quilt, Eddie! You are setting a good example of what you can do when you JUST DO IT. Sew glad you have your machine back up and running! :lol:

Your quilts are absolutely stunning.....keep up the great work!

Ooooo, I love it!! Good job on the quilting too Eddie! How old are your kids?

My son is 28 yrs.

Very pretty

Eddie---I like the quilt a lot---the pattern, fabrics and your fabulous first attempt at free motion quilting----way to go!!!

It's a great quilt for your daughter
to nap with, in the family room!! :D
It's not only a great nap quilt, but
a lovely touch of color in the family room.
:D :D :D :D :D

Another perfect one! I love it!

This is so cute and you did a good job quilting it. I too am hesitating quilting by machine anything except runners and small things. It costs way too much to send things to a machine quilter and I can't keep up hand quilting even though I love to do it.

Another beautiful quilt Eddie!! You keep showing us some wonderful quilts. Glad you got your sewing machine back and running!

Great quilt! I've not done FMQ on anything large. Great job!

Quilt is beautiful, great colors, congratulation on your stippling, you done a great job.

Wow you just made it! :shock: :shock: !! You don't skip a beat :lol: :lol: I see the machine is back in order Yeah!!!!!!!!

Great colors nice quilting!!!!!

What a lucky daughter!! Beautiful quilt and great quilting on it.

Fantastic quilt. LOVE those colors. I think I've said it before but I'll say it again - you are one talented quilter. I'm really impressed with the amount and quality of great quilts you turn out.

Beautiful quilt, I'm sure your daughter is very happy with it. FIRST ATTEMPT??? No way. If it is, I can't imagine what your second attempt will look like. Thanks for posting your pictures.

What a great quilt. That one is on my to list. You did a great job. Love it.

great quilt!

Good Job Eddie!! Love the colors and your quilting looks great! :D

trouble maker.....NOW I WANT A FREE MOTION QUILTING MACHINE!

(have not had the chance to see one yet....but there is a person down the lane from me, who does have one and I am going to call them and ask if I can come over for tea and take a peek)


Meagan, IS ONE LUCKY PERSON!!!!!!!!

What a great quilt. Wonderful 1st attempt at FMQ!

Another great quilt, Eddie.
Does this mean you got a new machine?

I love it.

Eddie

A real beauty from you again !!!! Your family members are so fortunate to have such a clever father. :wink:

I managed to get both books - they were both on special offer too so I was very lucky.

I have some 100% cotton shirts from DH mainly different blues & tones of navy with some whites too that I intend making a quilt with & have been looking at this pattern in the book. It would be ideal to throw out on the lawn next Summer for our GS to lay on.

I love it! and it sounds like Meagan likes it too. :wink:

Absolutely beautiful! If she doesn't like it, I'd love to have it!

Nice work

That's beautiful Eddie! I don't think I've seen that fabric collection. I think I'm in trouble! LOL!

I like u work, colors, and the happy ending

i love it. all those colors together are perfect

Great job, you have some lucky kids!
