    Here are three quilts I have recently made for my kids. Two are finished, and the quilt top is getting "sandwiched" tomorrow. My eight year-old little boy loves John Deere, so therefore, his is the JD one (it is hand quilted), the second one is called "Scrappy Trip Around the World" made for my nine year-old little boy who loves sports; therefore, the soccer ball backing. It was also my very first attempt at machine quilting. The final one (quilt top) is for my 13 year-old daughter who loves all the weird colors. It is called "Strip Twist" and I used a Moda jelly roll for it.

    Thanks so much for looking :-) They are all very proud of them--thought I was going to go crazy when they kept asking "How long 'till mine is done?" lol
