My Latest Quilts

Well, I looked at this picture and immediately realized I’d made a mistake.  Of course, I didn’t see the mistake until just now, AFTER I had the quilt top completed, had the quilt completed, and bound the quilt.  It cracks me up.  The saying is that the Amish always made a mistake in their quilts.  I guess I’m Amish!

This quilt is for my niece Alexis.  It has a beautiful sea blue minky back.  When Mike and I were visiting in early October, she asked if I would make her a quilt.  I told her I would, and then I asked if he she wanted to see the quilt I had in my car.  If she liked it, this could be her quilt, or, I would make one for her.

At the end of September, Cathy Spillman asked me to make eight quilts for her grandchildren and her, out of her husband’s shirts.  These are the quilts I came up with…

SOLD - Folksy Bird Quilt Top

Recently I sold this quilt top and I was so happy as I had the quilt for TWO years.  I was wondering if I would ever sell it, but it sold on Etsy.  Yea!

This particular pattern sells quite well so I am in the process of making yet another quilt from this pattern to list on Etsy.  Hopefully, it will not take another two years to sell. 

The more quilts I make and sell, the more I realize I need to have bolder colors and square prints.  For some reason, those two combinations = sales!
