New quilts from Fred...

 Here is a Christmas quilt that I just finished.  I used a turning 20 pattern and very fun prints.  I loved all the modern prints like zebra and chevron.  Yes, it all came in a kit.

This quilt is called a texture quilt.  It has cottons, flannels, corduroy, and two different minkys.  I love this concept.  In the process of making a second, larger foxy quilt. 

This is chevron backing..the same as a pattern on the front.  The green chevron closeup picture is on the back.  I love the greens and blues together.  Reminds me a bit of Krista's cute elephant quilt made from Sheryl.  I love the ric rack around the border and the binding.

I made what I call a Brazil quilt for the sweet family that houses the missionary (my missionary) in Brazil.  It is the colors of the Brazilian flag and it has a soccer minky (you can't tell the softness) backing it.  I bound it in plain white (Christian's suggestion).  I love the ombre chevron feeling of the quilt.  I did purchase enough of the same fabric to make Tyler one too when he returns.
 And they got it!  Loverly!
