Here are two other examples. They are a lil off center and stuff. These were the first two I completed just a couple weeks ago.

Very nice! You're doing great for a beginner! Make more!

Chele-----Thank You!

Hi Henry, great work for a beginner. Love the butterfly in the corner. Keep up the great work.

They are beautiful... I really like the bright blocks... :thumbup:

The butterfly I cheated with. Its an iron on applique. :);)

Thanks Diamond :)

Those are great!!! Butterflies are my favorite creatures!!! Keep up the wonderful work!

There is no cheating in quilting! There are no quilt police either! Anything you can think of and create is perfect, just like the quilts you've posted. Way to go.
I have a bag of hankies and head scarves that I'm going to be looking at with a whole lot of interest now.
Thanks for sharing you work with us.

Awww thank you so much

I have some head scarves as well but they are really thin and I am trying to figure out how I can use them in a quilt similar to my hankie quilt.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll give that a try and see if that helps.

Y'know, I like the first one best - the soft colors and how the first and third are a little longer. It makes it MUCH more interesting!

They are great!! Keep up the good work. Kyia

Thanks Celeste and Kyiav10.

great job henry, i especially like the one with the purple border. you are doing really good work. keep it up and keep the pics coming.

Thank you nanabirdmo. Purple is my favorite color so I decided to do a quilt in purple. I like it too ust wish i had been able to center it a lil more correctly/

You are doing great! You keep this up and you will be a pro in no time. :)

awwww:) Thank you

Great job, Henry. I like the first one best, with the soft colors and the butterfly.

WOW you are really doing GREAT! Keep up the good work!

Thanks Minda. I made that one for my friend Angela. She just found out she is pregnant.

Thanks Dawn

Henry:
Your work is wonderful! You will get better with each project and with each project you'll be surprized at how much you learn. I've been quilting about 6 years and I'm not what I consider a good quilter yet but I keep striving for greatness. :lol: It may not happen but in the journey I'm making some nice gifts! :wink: I also want to comment on your desire to continue the quilting tradition in your family. We live in such a fast moving, electronic world it's wonderful to hear that someone WANTS to preserve the "old" ways. Keep up your great work.

Feathers

Thanks Feathers for your encouraging words. :)

Your welcome! You got what you deserved :wink: :D Feathers

Keep up the good work buddy. Something for everyone - striking bolds and the pastels too. Kewl!

Those are great! You're moving right along! I love the butterfly it adds a nice touch! Great work!

thanks Heather:)

thanks scott

Sure! Just posted pics of the Christmas stockings.

I'll be sure to look at them.

I love the one with the butterfly. I had a tear in the fabric when I first started quilting (I didn't sew close enough to the 1/4) and it pulled when I started quilting. So I took a small bumble bee applique that you'd put on a childs dress and covered the hole. Used black yarn to make swirls like a bee in motion and no one was the wiser. Except for you now. And the hundreds of people who will read this. LOL Beautiful job. I bet your Grandmothers so very proud.

Great job!!!!

Good work. Using the butterfly is not cheating. It is intelligent design.
