    Default 3 Quilts for my Nephew & his family

    His 2 young sons are just 10 1/2 months apart in age, so I wanted something different, but the same.....so I thought, hmmmm same pattern, different fabrics. Turned out pretty good I thought.

    The youngest one's quilt and a close-up of a block



    My nephew & his wife's quilt is just going to have an off-white back, but her favorite color is purple and his is neon-green. So this turned out pretty good.....

    Oops, I tried not to get the messy area behind my short-arm machine, but my camera didn't obey, did it?

    Thank you all for your kind words! I forgot to say that the boys' pattern is one that I saw and tried to copy with some touches of my own in the pattern. The one for my nephew and his wife was in the Spring 2014 issue of Quilter's World Magazine. It just so happened that they were the same colors as my nephew's & his wife's favorite colors!
