Two little quilts
 

I wanted to share two small quilts that I've made this last year. The first I made for my daughter and has 5 flower motifs that I embroidered. The doilies were purchased because I just wanted to get the quilt done without taking more time to crochet the doilies. I hand quilted everything. The quilting is simple because I wanted the embroidery to stand out.

The second little quilt I made for my sister. It is all hand quilted. I learned on this quilt that the quality of batting really matters. The batting bearded horribly on the brown. I had to wet down the fabric and batting as I quilted it to keep bearding to a minimum. It turned out ok though.

Very pretty!

Great work, Your embroidery is beautiful.

Your quilts are beautiful. I love both of them!

You do beautiful work. I love them both.

They are both beautiful. I love those little triangular pieces of ribbon on the edge of the embroidered block

I like them both they are soo pretty. WOW.

good work. Thanks for sharing.

both look great

Thank you for sharing. They are so pretty!

Two beautiful quilts! The first: I love the satin accents and the doilies Your embroidery work is wonderful. The second: Your piecing is terrific!! Both are works of art to be proud of

These are lovely. Locke th emboridery. So which batting do we need to stay away from?

How pretty! They're so different, but both beautiful. Love the idea of the doilies and I particularly like the framing you did around the embroidered blocks. The second one has such intricate piecing - you do lovely work.

those are so pretty, really love the first one

Beautiful quilt.

Great job on both

they are both so dainty and feminine (LOL SP)

Great job on both!

They are both very pretty!

The embroidered quilt is very pretty. I love the way you did the embroirdered blocks. This gives me an idea for a memory quilt for my mom who embroidered and my grandmother who tatted.
I like the colors in the one for your sister, too. I've done that block it is fun to make.

Both are beautiful!!!!!

I believe it was the Warm and Natural cotton batting - or a generic version just like it. I only noticed the bearding on the dark border of the second quilt - not on any of the lighter fabric. I've since switched to a wool batting that I really like.

Those are so pretty...what beautiful work!

They are both beautiful.

they are both nice!!!!

very pretty

very nice and so sweet

Thank you for the ideas on the first quilt. I inherited some embroidery pieces and doilies and did not know what to do with them. Very pretty quilts.

both of them are beautiful.

I'm echoing all the accolades. Thanks for sharing the close ups. I have a similar pastel paisley and you have shown me an idea of what to do with it. PS--paisleys are my favorite fabric.

They both are so pretty.

Love them both!! You did good!

Lovely quilts! Thanks for sharing.

Both are beautiful. The embroidery one is so feminine and lovely!
