The first is for Oliver. I pieced the top and my husband quilted it. Be sure to look at the upclose shot of the border. He had fun creating there. And there is a photo of the back.. I am hoping the quilting shows. I have to say that the photos do not do the fabrics in this quilt justice.. they are beautiful (and were all in my stash.. bought nothing for this one but batting!)
And the other is for Reed. Reed's dad is a basketball coach.. so I went with a sports theme. I pieced and quilted this one. Very simple disappearing nine-patch with in the ditch quilting. But I decided to try something else. In the 4 corner blocks and the very center one, I quilted the outline of a basket ball. They are not perfect by any long shot, but I think they turned out cute and I feel certain Reed's dad will like them. I had most of this in my stash. Had to purchase some fabric for the border and the batting.
Working on a quilt for a little girl now ... have another boy top done and ready to quilt... and then have another boy and a girl coming in December! More baby quilts on the way. I love babies and I love making baby quilts!
