A long time ago (like 2 years) I got a hankering to sew something not boyish...like PINK. I thought if I sew this who am I going to give them to? I couldn't really put a pink quilt on MY bed? could I? After I see the pictures though I really do like how they look with the logs. I decided to give them to my sister's girls since she has a lot of them. I wish I would have taken a picture of Kate's quilt...it was blue/brown/green/yellow...just lovely colors. Anyhoo...Korrine's quilt is the pink one and Kamas' quilt is the purple.
Korrine loves pink and hearts.
I made this by putting a 3" square on top of a 6" square on top of a 9" square and letting the edges fray. I love the look after I've just washed them. The back is made from minky. I held on to the top for a long time after I had completed it and didn't have enough to make a back or binding and I was lucky enough to find a binding that matched all the colors on the front. I also love how it is diagonal.
Kamas loves purple and fairies. My mom copied the purple fairy from the white patch of fairies and enlarged her. I added butterflies and ric-rack. This one just makes me happy. I also LOVE that the binding is using the scraps from leftover 2 1/2 strips. You can see in the above picture the different edges.

Oh, they came out absolutley WONDERFUL!!! I'll bet they adored them, Wendi! You did an excellent job on them :-)
quirky...korinne loved hers and couldn't wait to see it. In fact she was the one that called a couple months ago out of the blue to see how I was doing and... when her blanket would be done. She drug hers all around the house. She was very appreciative. Kamas said oh I like it and put it in a box to go home and didn't say another word. Funny girls
LOVE LOVE LOVE! You need some girls ... we'll keep you.
ckm...yes I do...and I'll take ALL three of yours.
Wendi - you are soooo talented! I would love to be one of your girls (LOL). No seriously, a person would be a fool to not love inheriting one of your quilts.
