Some of my quilts this year



I have been working on some projects of my own this year and finding it pleasant to do so with my new sewing area and fabric cupboard.  I have several quilts waiting to be quilted, but just don’t have the time – I plan to quilt them when I take a break in January.
 
I have finished two simple quilts.  The first is for my youngest niece.  She was two when I got it finished, so later than usual (I usually try to have my nieces and nephew’s first quilt completed by their first birthday) but I think with the extension and my broken ankle I am allowed to be a bit tardy this time.



My niece is a gorgeous, independent, always smiling little girl, so I wanted to make a bright fun quilt.  I called it Little Ray of Sunshine which suited her personality.  I quilted it with an allover freehand daisy and loop pattern.

 
This I Spy quilt I made as a present for a friend’s newborn son Carlos.  I have made three I Spy quilts this year one of which I donated to my nephew’s kindie which will be part of their silent auction at their quiz night later this year.


I  quilted it with an allover freehand stars and clouds pattern.

  1. Love them both but I will have to say that the first is really to my liking!!! That pattern is super versatile.....and I think that your stitching choice is so perfect for both the quilt and your niece!! Hugs.....

  2. Both quilts are delightful. It sounds like they match very well to the children receiving them. Lovely.
