A few years ago when I was visiting family, my sisters and I decided to start a project, which we decided to include our brothers in. That is 5 of us. Each picked out several different fall prints and sent them to me. I used all the pieces in varying patterns to make 5 coordinating quilts. Mom came over and helped me get them quilted with a lot of help from Teri. Merlene helped bind as well. I'm showing them here to keep the memory. It was a fun project, and it's fun to think that each of them have one like mine in their home as well. It even ended up that my mom got one as well, which mades this whole quilt adventure even more satisfying. This first picture is of me with all the quilts, Mom wanted this picture.
I love this one! With the suggestion of a daughter, I just took strips of all the fabric and sewed them together in different sizes, added the boarder and it's done.
It's easy to see this is a Crazy Quilt. I used a 'stack and wack' pattern. Makes it fun and easy.
I did 2 of these using the "Sweet 16" pattern, it is a lot like the "Turning Twenty" patterns. The boarders make the quilts look so different even though they are the same main pattern.
This one is mine. Probably the most simple one, but I love it. It was done mainly using the scraps from the other quilts that were too big to throw away.
This last one I did before any of these others and is more involved, but it fits this theme we were going with.

What a great idea! My sister participates in a few swaps each year...we should do something like that.
