It's a good thing I wear "transition" glasses! The quilts are wonderful. Your grandkids sure are lucky - I'm sure they know it. Pat yourself on the back. I am so impressed. What's next?

Great job!!!! The burning bed could also be called
"Fire and Water", with the cool backing you used on it.

Bobbin along 12-19-2010 10:47 AM

love them all--but especially Bed's on Fire! It looks psyco-electric!

My 12-year old DGD picked out the Carpenter Star and the backing -- I call it "Meandering Ameoba" because that's what the variegated thread looks like on the black.

My 13-year old DGS picked out the Embers gradient pattern -- he said, "Mimi, it will make my bed look like it's on fire!" That's for sure! So I named it "Bed's on Fire." (I made the back dark in case he needs to calm down.)

The Amish-looking on-point one is for my 16-year old DGS -- hope it looks sufficiently Goth. Since I managed to cut the tips off the top "mountains," I'm calling it "Pointless."

I still have the binding handwork to finish -- and a drive from Little Rock to Philadelphia next week. Eeek!




Not too bright for me! I think they are all beautiful and your teen Gkids should love them. Did they pick out any of the colors?

jojosnana 12-19-2010 05:06 PM

All are wonderfully individual and bright. They make you happy to look at them, great job.

ScrappyKathy 12-19-2010 05:50 PM

Tweety2911 12-19-2010 05:53 PM
