Personality Quilt

This was a fun project! It is made from the "Sweet Sixteen" pattern, similar to the "Turning 20". I told Alison that when she was any material that represented her personality for some reason, that she was to get it (about 30 fat quarters). We had fun shopping for the pieces. We got enough that both sides of the quilt are full of the variety's of material. It has done a nice job to capture her personality for this time of life.

"Strip" Quilts

I like this style of quilts. I hadn't thought of it before seeing my first one this past year. They are varying widths of 45 inch strips. I really like the variety in them.

More Rails

A strip quilt, Rail, is one of the eaisiest tops to put together. My 2 youngest girls made one, each put together a little differently. First is Alison, she did this in her early teens. Amy sewed this one as a laurel project and completed it for graduation. My mom hand quilted it for her and added a soft boarder.
