two new finishes this month
 

Two finishes for a family doubly blessed this month. The son graduating high school with honors and being signed by a college for wrestling, and the mother having met her ideal man after a long life of struggle and sacrifice so there will be a wedding soon.

The t-shirt quilt is for the son, obviously, lol. The wedding quilt represents their commitment to God, family and their work together thru 12 step programs. The windmill blocks are to represent the wind being always at their backs. The 4 squares of fabric in the outer border represents their children and their interests. I put eagles on the back and told them from me that it represented for their family always to work and grow together and to always be the wind beneath one another's wings.
This was my first time to meet the fiance' and he had tears in his eyes and he pulled up his shirt sleeve and showed me he has an eagle tattoo on his forearm.

The quilt isn't wavy like it looks, it's just not being held up nice and straight. :)

How thoughtful of you to do this. Both these quilts are priceless. BrendaK

Very nice! I'm sure they will both be loved. I am planning to make a t-shirt quilt for my daughter when she graduates.

I bet the son is delighted with his quilt you did a great job. Fancy you getting the eagle right on the back of a beautiful wedding quilt.

nicely done

You made good statements with these quilts.

Both quilts are wonderful & will surely be treasured. You done a fantastic job on them both.
