I signed up on two of DH's aunt's posts, so I had to post this twice, making 6 projects. However, on the second posting, my younger sister was the only one who signed up. Since this is also the year that she's graduating from high school, I decided to make 3 projects and just give them all to her. These are her gifts. Thanks for looking!

The first one is an "Aurora Borealis" Bargello quilt. The Second is a "Spiderwebs & Mini Star" quilt, made from the scraps that were left over from the third quilt: a "Day & Night" quilt...if you couldn't tell, she really likes purple and gray combos, lol.

Beautiful quilts, but I just love the 3rd one. What a fantastic graduation gift, one she will always have and cherish. Everytime she uses any of the three she will remember just what a special sister made for her. Great work.

Fantastic quilts, I really like the bargello! I'm thinking of trying the day and night quilt, I think I have the pattern in one of Eleanor Burns books.

No, not at all. They are time consuming, but I love the ease of doing something so easy, since all you really have to do is make sure your corners meet up, so I will spend hours just pinning and sewing.
