Rainbow quilt for Maddy Bean

This quilt took me quite awhile.  I started back in March, took a really long break from it and finally finished the end of December.

I got the idea from this quilt from pinterest.  They had all the colors randomly but I liked the rainbow look so I made the colors in rows and I like it better this way.

For the binding I used a rainbow striped fabric to tie in all the colors together.  I really like how it looks.

I've learned I'm definitely not a perfectionist but at least from far away you can't tell too much.  Hopefully Maddy's happy with it. 

Ryan's Quilt

My sister has asked me to make a quilt for each of her kids.  The first one is for Ryan. The hardest part of this quilt was finding fabric he liked.  Couldn't be babyish or girly.  My sister had to even convince him red was not a girl color.  Here is how it turned out.

I found a blog that gave easy instructions on how to do a chevron pattern.  I would definitely do this again.  For the back, I used a dark gray minky.  I liked how it turned out, next up is Maddy's.

Christmas Quilt

Here is the quilt I made my parents for Christmas this year. It was large enough and heavy enough, I had a hard time getting a good picture of the full blanket.

For the back I used my new favorite fabric called cuddly rose minky.  It is so silky.  I love it!

This was a pretty easy quilt to make, and I sent it to a place down in Utah to get the quilting done.  I think it turned out pretty good.
