Boys' Quilts

This one isn't quite quilted, nor bound, but I wanted to get a picture of this one. This one is one my favorites and I'll prolly just keep this one (you know...perhaps some babies will come).  I love all the bright colors and and the fun cowboy theme. I also tried out a crazy 9 patch pattern that I love too. This will just be a lap quilt. Sept. 2010

Now it's quilted and bound

 I only had a couple squares left and wanted to incorporated them somehow in the back.  So I pieced the back and placed them in there.  I used it up...I'm trying to use more of my scraps.  I also used what I had for the binding...It doesn't match perfectly colorwise, but themewise it does.  And I'm using more of my scraps.  Isn't the cowboy print so cute?

Halloween Quilt

This quilt is done the same way as Jens' soccer/green/black/white quilt towards the bottom. I also love all the bright Halloween prints and how crazy the boxes are in the center of the squares. Oct. 2010

 Below is a table runner using the same fabric but I didn't have enough of the blue fabric to make a whole large quilt.  Sheryl helped design this pattern and it will look stunning on my black table in the living room.  This will be the first Halloween that I will get to use them.  I'm excited that they're done BEFORE the season.

This is Christian's scout quilt that still needs to be quilted and bound. I made Ryus (my nephew) a similar one and I love how classic and clean it looks. I also love the new merit badge fabric that I was able to cut out individual merit badges that Christian earned. I also wanted to highlight the different fabric that I used on his that represent Christian. When Christian was 9 months...(Brian was away at basic training and I lived with my mom during those 3 months) ...My mom had a really super soft rug in front of her kitchen sink that he would crawl all over the house trying to find, and when he found it he would lie down with his face on it. All his life he's been a feely touchy guy of fabrics so I added a row of minky just for him that is super soft. 

Jens' Tshirt quilt from Iowa and all the places that he visited while he was there playing. He even went to a showing of Wicked.  Look at him peeking out up top...

This is Ty's Tshirt quilt.

This shirt was the back of one that is already on here and I wanted to include this one, it's his own handwriting that he had to write for his PE shirt in middle school.

Here is Christian's Tshirt quilt. They are all pretty similar except that rows and columns are a little different fabric and here again the back of his quilt is special for him. It's also minky.

Backing done with stripes and a border of soccer material.

Jensen went away to Iowa without any bedding besides a sheet set (that didn't even fit, he had to buy an extra long twin size) So when we went to visit him during conference Oct. 2009 I took along this quilt to give to him. I really love this one. I had the high school quilt this one and it's pretty poorly done. One day I would like to machine quilt on my own machine. I'm trying to get up the bravery to do so.

This one is Jens' Tshirt quilt, first one that I made. I love these because they get so many tshirts for their different activities and this is a good use for them, rather then use them for kindling for our outdoor fire place.

Jens's scout quilt 2008 You can't see it very well but each of his merit badges are embroidered on the cream sections that are angled. I do LOVE the picots (triangles) on the edge of the quilt. I wasn't going to add red to the quilt because the instructions didn't call for it but I'm so glad that I did.
