I hope they appreciated them. They seemed to be thrilled. I am retired, so I can quilt more than I used to. I also have a longarm machine which does help. Altho, I had to work those in between my customers quilts. I probably started last May. Thought I had enough time, but as it got closer mI was getting nervous. Three weeks before Xmas I found out my brother was coming home for Xmas, so I decided quickly to make him a quilt. He lost his wife to a brain tumor four years ago, and I have always wanted to do this for him. He has 3 sons 23, 17 and 15, that I would like to make one for. That may be my next goal. I have quite a stash of fabric and kits to make, that I bought when I was still working. I also want to make quilts for the priests of our parish. (5) We will see how it goes.

Wow! Those are great! I really love your taste in fabric. The simply strippy and the other one for your daughter, the squares made out of what look like stripped triangles really caught my eye; mostly for the colors you chose. I probably wouldn't have been so enamored with them had they not been done in those particular colors. I also like the quilt in your avatar.

The quilt in my Avatar went to SulaBug. She was my Nov./Dec. Doll Quilt exchange partner, so thought I wouldput it in my Avatar, because it is so colorful. We looked a long time for all the striped material. When I started the quilt I hated it. It wasn't until it was all done that I really enjoyed. She also loved it. I really swore I would not make another one, but now I would like one for myself.
