Wow, so many accomplishments...and so many smiling faces. Looks like your quilts were a big hit for the holidays. I really liked your log cabin and I think I’m going to put that on my project list for 2018 as I have not yet done one.
Thank you for sharing your wonderful work.

Oh my goodness, that's a mini quilt show all in your house on Christmas Day. They are all beautiful. Looks like you'll have to treat yourself to a little new stash this year. As it looks like you went through lots to make all those lovely quilts. And, the recipients all look pleased with their new quilts! Best compliment ever.

I have some questions:
1) Did you make them all in 2017 or just give them as gifts this year?
2) Were all surprises or did anyone help with choosing pattern or fabrics?
3) Which one is your favorite?

I did make several in 2017 but some are for previous 4-5 years? It was a random number draw - numbered each quilt then had the kids draw a number from a can. Whatever number they drew, they got that quilt. I chose fabrics and patterns. A couple are completions of blocks that I won in my Piecemakers quilt group. (not always an easy task to complete a quilt from blocks done by various people). I don't really have a favorite, I loved each one as they were completed. This way avoids any bickering after I croak!
