Very nice! I'm looking forward to seeing what is on your bed next!

M

thanks! i love yours, too. warm colors. i think that's what i need for my next one.

I Hope this goes through. This is a hand pieced and hand quilted bedspread that I made for our bed .

I have a few quilts stacked on my bed, but this one usually ends up on top.

wow! it's beautiful! i wouldn't even know how to begin hand piecing!

I love your quilt all my colors! Great job! Just finished my new bed quilt
putting binding on today, also done in batiks will post it when i'm finished.
:D Sewhappy

Here's mine. I have two quilts I will rotate. The log cabin is now--maybe about April I'll switch to Garden Path.

I can't find the picture of Garden Path on my bed--but it's under the post "The hardest one I've ever made." :D

Your quilts are all beautiful! I haven't made a quilt for my bed yet but I found a pattern that my husband & I both likes & so I'm going to make it a project for this year. I'm looking forward to collecting the materials for it!

These are all beautiful quilts.....my hubby bought one of those "bed in a bag" sets and won't give up the comforter for a homemade quilt....I made a king size fan quilt for the bed and its folded up and put away! :(

Ok Patsy, You just have to let him help you pick out a pattern that you can both agree on & then maybe you will get to finally put a quilt on your bed. Currently I have a bed in the bag comforter on my bed too (probably with our cat on it). LOL :D

I've made 2 different quilts to put on our bed then when finished Hubby says..."oh no...you can't put those on the bed for the cats to ruin...they are much too pretty". Hmmmmm I can't figure out if he actually doesn't like them and is being nice or he really thinks that...here was the last 1 I made to go on the bed...but it isn't

Does he like a puffy quilt/comforter, Patsy? My sons do, too.

Yup...thats what it is Cathe! And I had another queen size one on another bed and washed it and it clumps up in the wash! They don't quilt them enuf and it looked awful after washing it!

Gorgeous quilts, ladies! Keep 'em comin'!

Love those colors sandpat!! Beautiful!

Thank you Pam. For now its just stored under some other junk on our guest bed. I'm loving the colors of the quilts on this thread. Cathe, I didn't think I'd like a red and white but I really love yours!

I made this for sil a few years ago as a wedding present, wedding was called off, so we ended up with it on our bed. I probably never would have made one for myself otherwise.

sandpat -- what a lovely quilt!! If not on your bed, why not hang it on the wall?

Those are some beautiful quilts!

I would have to make my bed to take a new picture, so you will have to make do with my Avatar. That is what's on my bed.

All of them are beautiful..

I also a comforter on my bed right now... :lol: I do have a top that I want to put on the bed... I am dropping it off at the quilters next week... It is a "Around The World"...

Hi Guys:
What's on my bed? Well, they are on a bed now but their destined for the quilt rack in the TV room.

Today I just finished quilting 2 tops that I've been working on forever. I layed them on a bed to get the pictures but they are "UTILITY' quilts. You know, the quilts that are so well loved and used that there isn't an evening of TV viewing where someone isn't all wrapped up in the warmth of a quilt...these are the 2 newest ones. Our utility quilts are so well used that they wear out in about a 2 year period of time since they are washed often and they not only give warmth but they become tents for the grands and kneading grounds for the foster kittens.

love the scrap quilt--I really enjoy making scrap quilts.

It's not WHAT, but WHO is on my bed. Yup, she'd been there for 18 years and we both love every minute of it. But the quilt that she's posed on is a sampler of blocks, all made from animal skin prints; tiger, leopard, etc. The quilt sits in one of the guest bedrooms, along with decorative tiger items from my travels.

Everyone has such beautiful quilts on their beds. It makes me determined to finish a quilt for myself this year. I usually give everything I make away so unless someone goes down into my quilt room it doesn't even look like a quilter lives here. My DH has requested that this year, except for my charity quilts, I do up some quilts for us and the house. Oh geez, another excuse to spend the days down in my quilt room. Okay! :lol:

Well it's not on my bed, but on the guest room bed. I have yet to make on to fit my pillow-topped queen bed. Maybe that should be my next project or the next or next or.... you know how it goes ... make them for everyone else and we are last. But here is the picture of the one on the guest bed;

beautiful! I love the colors

Me too!

I have purchased quite a few vintage quilt tops (usually 1930's or newer). I also purchase vintage material when I have the opportunity to do so. I used to go the flea markets and antique fairs on a regular basis to look for quilt tops and fabric. As prices have gotten more expensive, I've cut down on my purchases. However, when I am traveling I make a point to check out the antique stores.

Love the quilts. They are beautiful.

What a gorgeous quilt Grammy Dwynn! Your guests must love sleeping under it.

I love scrappy quilts. I could sit and look through all the different fabrics in the quilt for hours. I know, I know, I'm easily amused. :lol:

Sandpat, I LOVE your quilt!! Let me know if family gets tired of it and I'll send shipping money to get it to South Carolina

Ya, Sandpat...I'll send postage and handling for a couple of your quilts!

Feathers

Ops! I think I meant to send my request to Lisa and all the rest of you wonderful, beautiful quilt makers. Sandpat, if you have a quilt or two you'd like to mail my way, I'll take them and love them til I die! :wink:

Hi Folks!

ANOTHER snow day here today...blizzard warning!

SO! After I made the bed, I decided to take a picture for this topic!

It is a Maple Leaf quilt ( I have LOVED maples since we adopted our flag in 1967!! I was 9!)

It is tessellated and has five colour families in it (red,green,yellow, brown and orange) with each colour group having between 12 and 15 different kinds of material. Sewing the quilt was a simple procedure but the planning and execution of the planning was gruesome. Because of the tessellation you have to know and use colours from the blocks all around the block you're doing. I goofed once and didn't see it until AFTER it was quilted ( hand quilted 1/4" around each leaf) so it wasn't coming apart. But the goof was substituting one yellow triangle for another yellow fabric so it isn't awful!

I made it for my husband- to- be for our bed. Sadly he is colourblind so he really doesn't appreciate it like I do, but he does appreciate the workmanship and dedication so that means a lot.

Happy Quilting~
Lori

oooo I JUST LOVE THIS QUILT ....

Mamagus:
Your Maple Leaf quilt is gorgeous! I love your color choices and it looks so fall-ish and inviting on your bed. Thank you for sharing
