Quilts!

Iv'e been making a lot of quilts lately and I love it! Rob's mom is a really good seamstress and great at quilting. After I had Lexi, she taught me how to sew and I loved it from the start. I've made almost 5 now (working on one) and have lots more lined up!

Here is my first one and it was for me! I designed it myself and it's has my 3 favorite colors.

Here is the second one I did for my cousin Yvonne's baby shower. She had a boy and the colors were grey, white and yellow.
I laced decorative thread through the quilting by hand. It took forever but it makes it look more like 'Argyle' so it was worth it!
For the backing I used a grey and white hounds tooth that went great!

This one was for another cousin. Jen also had a boy. She didn't have a shower because it was her 3rd boy so I just had fun with this one and did a bunch of colors!

I also took a hand quilting class right before I did this one so I hand quilted his name on it.

The back is plain but the quilting looks cool on it.

This one took forever but it turned out so good! I did it for yet another cousin. Dana had a girl. I tried to match her crib bedding.
In some of the squares I hand quilted designs from her bedding.


And just cause she is cute I had to put one up of my little Brooklyn! She crawled onto the blanket while I was trying to take pictures of it!
