Thanks everyone. The kids really do love them. Each quilt had it's own challenges.

The corduroy quilt was my own design inspired by the amish quilts. My son said he didn't care what pattern as long as it was corduroy. I used some of his grandma's dresses, both worn & never worn (bc she didn't like them once she got them). She had given me "new" black corduroy, but when we washed it for the first time, much of the nap/pile/fuzz fell out! :cry: :evil: Thus the 2 years. I bought more black & had to re-do the top, attach it, then re-quilt the whole thing.

With Amanda's heagon, it was my very 1st. It wasn't that difficult. Just like squares really, sewing together rows. The hard part was keeping them from moving outta place like while wating to sew like Pam said.

Zach's challenge was finding many shades of orange & then coordinating them. I got tired of doing it after an hour & told my son if he wanted his quilt he'd better help coordinate! He loved it, we had a good time bonding.
