I totally love both of them! Wow! This is the type of quilts I have wanted to do, still learning basics. Wow!

I love them both, but I have to say that I like the one of your granddaughter the best.

You are so fortunate to have such talent and be able to combine them into a beautiful art form. Most of us cannot even begin to aspire to what you're doing - we just stand back in awe!

The first one is small, 9 x 12 and the indian girl is 20 x 28. I have a pretty native american print that I might use for an outside border. The quilting was the hard part. I pretty much followed the lines like echo quilting. I used invisible thread and quilted about 1/4 inch apart. The hair I just followed the way I thought it would curve. The most imprtant thing is to use good quality fabric so it doesn't fray when quilting. I dye my own. Thanks for the compliments.
