I loved making these quilts. I asked one niece what favorite colors were with each niece, nephew, great nieces. I found out that one nephew loved black but I added the silver gray and made the Irish Chain. One niece and her daughter loved mint, which was very difficult to find. One great niece adores Halloween so I made hers orange scraps with black, the back has some spiders on it. I made an I Spy quilt for the great great nephew and a lovely jelly row quilt for his great grandma. Another niece likes gray so added some charcoal for slashing and used a more modern pattern. I made these during a really stressful period in my life but I always had something to look forward to with the piecing. I forced myself to sew and in the end, it saved my sanity. So glad you all liked the quilts.
