Retiree #1 likes guns
Retiree #2 well his says what he likes.LOL
Newby #1 is an associate pastor and was scheduled to swim with the sharks on a recent visit to Hawaii. He didn’t get to due to the waters being too rough.

I am making quilts for my coworkers and these are a few that I am gifting May 1st because of the retirees. I recently posted a bargello that is going to a coworker as well. This is makes #4 of 12 I plan to make this year.

all quilts measure approximately 80x80”

I have one more I am going to try and knock out this week after work so I can quilt the five next weekend. I only plan to stipple them so I can get them off the frame quickly. But first I have bind last weekend’s king size quilt and quilt the mini and bind it. That’s what is on my to do list for the rest of this evening. Busy busy busy. Thank for looking.

Wow, wild fabric in that first one and second one and third one too. I like them all!!!

lovely quilts
 

Isn't the first quilt a Blooming 9 Patch? Oh I just love those quilts! I made only one of the BNP and nearly went bonkers. All three are wonderful gifts! You do beautiful work!

Yes, it is a BNP. I showed a different quilt using this pattern to the person receiving this quilt and he commented he like that pattern so I decided to use it for his quilt. I like making them but you do have to really watch what you are doing and plan well. Thank you for your compliments.

All of them are gorgeous!

What beautiful work! All three of these are great quilts. What a lovely retirement gift they are going to receive.

What a beautiful collection! You've been busy and the recipients will be thrilled well done.

WOW you are a generous employee with marvelous talent too. Tell me you went shopping for all those fabrics since you didn't have them in your stash LOL They will be thrilled.!

Great quilts!

Each quilt is so well suited to the retiree. You must have had a lot of fun matching fabric and pattern to each person.

I generally personalize the quilts I make for people in some format or another so, no I did not have these in my stash just lying in wait. They were all bought with the recipient in mind. Although I do have fabric in my stash that is and has been for YEARS predestined to be used today. some of that fabric, while on display under my long arm where I can see and access it, is the last place I look when I have a new person/project in mind. I really need to stop doing that and use what I have on hand . . . probably wont happen but needs to. lol

Yes, I do have fun with that process.

You've been one busy quilter!
Wonderful quilts.

Is the first quilt made like they call the blooming 9 P ? I read the fireman's quilt post and you said the fireman was the Bloomin 9 Patch. I hadn't heard of it but not surprising, so had to google. All your quilts are nice and unique for each worker. I applaud you for your hard work and generosity.

Yes, the first one is a blooming 9 patch, so is the firemean quilt. Still amazes me how different colors can change the look of the same pattern. and thank you.
