Those quilts are absolutely gorgeous! My favorite is the Bed's on Fire, but the other two are fabulous also. Lucky, lucky grandkids! You are so talented.

WOW ... stunning. The bed 'on fire' is great, you achieved the look perfectly.

Your quilts are stunning. Could you explain the bed on fire one. What is the fabric? Do you have to dye it yourself? It certainly looks 3-D. Congratulations for finishing these masterpieces.

These are awesome!! Can you please tell where you got the fabrics for Gwyn and Joes beds?? I looked at Joes and you can feel the heat!

I got Joe's Embers fabric/pattern from http://www.dakotacabinquilts.com/.

If they're out, I saw it advertised at http://www.canbyquilts.com/.

Gwen's is http://www.avlyn.com/media/projects/...sion_quilt.pdf

Gwen's was fun for the beginner that I am -- but Joe's had 13 pages of instructions -- proving where there's a will, there's a way! (seemed like a very long, hard way at times!)

Jeff's I sorta made up after seeing it on a website with some gorgeous quilts!

Good luck!

Since I ineptly cut off the tops of the mountains on the top row, I named it "Pointless." Might be appropriate, since my daughter warned me that teenage boys aren't exactly into textile arts.

:roll:

Bed's on Fire, aka Embers -- http://www.canbyquilts.com/kits.html -- is made from 5 yards of gradient fabric that goes from bright yellow to deep purple. It has to be carefully cut to get four triangles of the right color in each square; then the borders have to be cut to make the "fire" appear in the right place.

The pattern suggested a swirl design for the quilting. But my quilter used a flame design, which we thought was appropriate!

Awesome! I love them all! Most impressed with the "newbie" quilting!

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?[/quote]

Gwen and Joe chose their designs/colors. I waste WAY too much time looking at patterns online; then I copy and paste them into my computer to continue to ponder them. My GKids sat with me one night and we looked through scads of them and they picked the ones they wanted.

Wow, now your right they do need sunglasses.lol.
But Beautifully made, my favorite is the burning bed also.
They are going to be thrilled to get them I bet. :D :thumbup:

They are all really nice, and bright.

I bought the gradient pattern as well but haven't had enough time to figure out the pattern. It is worded different than my brain was comprehending. Did you have a hard time with it? I really want to do this pattern. The one I saw quilted was done in circles and really looked awesome!

Those are great! Beautiful job..

I almost fainted when I saw the directions, since I'd just started this quilting madness the year before and had pieced only very simple tops --including couple made from the bandanas my dogs got when they got groomed.

I was so petrified to cut into that huge five-yard piece of fabric that I bought some tempera paint and painted the design onto huges sheets of craft paper to mark where the triangles should be cut. A handyman working at the house saw the paper spread out on the floor and asked what I was doing. When I told him I was making a quilt, he said that didn't look like the kind of quilting his sister did! :)

I guess I'll just have to dive in! Cutting up that much fabric doesn't bother me but I just want to be sure that it will look right when done. Oh well, no quilt police live at my house so it will be good no matter what! :)

I love the quilts. Great piecing and great quilting for beginners. Your names are so creative. I need you when I am trying to name a quilt.

Wow! Beautiful quilts and quilting>

Nice job on all! You are right the "bed on fire" would certainly keep me awake!- lol!

I absolutely adores these quilts. I like brights and these are gorgeous!!

I LOVE all the bright colors, I think we are soul sisters!!!

Awesome quilts! I love the fact that the black material makes the other colors jump out at you.

this says it all!

Wow! They're all beautiful!

They are just amazing.... I hope to be able to make something like these some day!

Hugs
