My Stars and Stripes





This is my FABULOUS quilt! I LOVE it! I started working on it at the beginning of the month and my nesting instincts just kind of took over. It's also the first quilt that I haven't done any in the ditch quilting. I quilted all the lines into the panels and stars in the squares and was really thrilled with the results. I took the same idea for the border. It's queen sized and cuddle approved by Zane! He wanted to take it to bed with him tonight so I guess that makes it a good one!

Quilting up a storm!

I stayed home in Raymond after Christmas and mom and I quilted every waking moment that we could squeeze in! Here's the end products!

This is the quilt that I posted earlier finished with the chocolate brown and the binding. I'm thrilled with how it turned out!Mom cut and ironed 6 double receiving blankets for me and I quilted and edged them all. They each have a different shape quilted and I tried different combos of colors for the edging. I'm really happy with them all!These are the single blankets mom hemmed for me....and yes, I did need all these blankets. Two boys with the same blankets make for some well-used blankies!This gorgeous and fabulous blanket Kinsey made for me! I love all the applique stuff she did and she quilted a million stars on as well. Thanks Kizzy for finishing it for me!And of course bibs and burp rags! We had tons of fun quilting, choosing fabric, shopping, etc! When mom gets her quilt done I'll post some pics up here!
