This was is my beginners quilter class, the class is

 2 1/2" x 2 1/2" squares,  

 I did it as 1 1/2" x 1 1/2" squares.....just me !

Picturing Quilts Before Shipping

Our Son's and Daughter-n-Law's received quilt gifts this year.

They were in NEED, I worked for months on them and had shown just bits and pieces as I made them. 

But, they have been opened and now it's my turn to share them. I take LOTS of pictures before a quilt leaves the house, I'm always in need to quilt pictures.

All are machine pieced and hand tied, with 2 layers of quilt batting in each and full size. 

 Two blue quilts to one house

Two yellow to the other.

We took the pictures on Dec 2nd here in Florida and as you can see, it was HOT out !
