The biggest and most expensive was a quilt for my daughter when she got married 11 years ago. It was queen size with just plain blocks but every other block had pictures on them. I started from the outside and used pictures of when they were babies and ended up with their engagement picture in the middle. It cost about $600.00, which I guess isn't much compared to what I have heard here but it was a lot of money plus the wedding. I also did one for a friend who's husband died and it ran even more because the picture squares were much higher that time. Both people loved them though so the cost was a mute point.

I made a king size 112 X 120 and designed the pattern myself. We are moving from southern heat to cooler mountains and could not find a pattern with bears, moose, deer, etc so came up with my own idea. I machine quilted it with the meandering method at our local quilt shop where they rent time on the machine based on the size of the quilt. Good thing I didn't go bigger, it maxed out the frame!

This one is easy, Rob's Mariner's compass that I posted pictures of a few months ago. Got the center done and then didn't know what to do next so rolled it up and put it away, thinking I would get an idea. Didn't happen for a few years. But thank God it is done and out of my house!!!!! Jan

My second project ever was a "Storm at Sea" queen quilt using Fairy Frost fabric. It took 2-1/2 yrs.. No paper piecing -- all hand cut and sewed together individualy. For a newbie it was a challenge and since one of the fabrics was a new color it tended to be expensive. Long before I finished I decided on the backing and the new color fabric was discontinued -- less than a year after I started -- don't know for sure but I think it was because of a problem with producing the fabric. I found there were problems with mine early on.

Anyway, it has come out really great -- most points and corners were great. I was able to find enough of the discontinued backing I chose that was okay without problems. It was expensive and very trying and time consuming but a very great lesson. It was a learning opportunity for me. I've come to love intricate smaller patterns. I love challenges.

Well, when I first started to do quilts I thought quilts were only for beds (this was pre-computer/internet - basically prehistoric times) so I started with the log cabin pattern and made Christmas presents - 1 king, 1 queen and 2 twin sized quilts. Took a very long hiatus from quilting after this. I've recently made another king and queen and am just in the thinking stages of trying some smaller projects as I see how beautiful your table runners, mug rugs and wall hanging are here on the board.

A king size,and a double king size 120x120. About $190. It was a little difficult to quilt on machine and by hand. Just hard to handle. The person the double king was made for had a queen size made 3 years ago by me. She loves them both. I am now in the process of making 2 more king size quilts for her and 2 queen size. I guess i'll be busy for awhile and eventually and hopefully experienced in making larger quilts.

When my daughter got engaged we decided to make quilts for her bridesmaids. Here's the problem - only 10 months until the wedding and seven! bridemaids. So, I made seven twin size quilts using variations of "friendship star".
