This first one is a small Baltimore quilt (the squares are 6" square). I made this in a class at The German Quilthouse in Geelong, Vic (unfortunately it has been closed for some time now).
A pity you can't see the dimensional work, but there is a ruched flower, padded little rose buds, and free-form flowers used in the borders.
The whole quilt measures 36" x 36".
The next quilt (as you can see) is a kid's quilt. I made it for my boss when his son Benjamin was born 6 years ago.
I used pre-printed alphabet squares and stitched the animals, then added different size pieces of bright materials to the squares to add interest.
This last one is very special. It is a signature quilt of my son's wedding. I first did the applique and stitching and then we got the guests at the wedding to sign it. It is finished to fit their dining table as a runner.Hope you are enjoying my reminiscing as much as I am.

Lovely quilts Joy and how special is that signature table runner to celebrate your son's wedding. Take care.
I sure am enjoying your reminiscing, Joy. You have made some beautiful quilts; I wouldn't like to be asked to pick a favourite! The signature quilt for your son is a real heirloom, and I certainly hope it is kept in good condition by generations to come.
I am loving seeing your collection of quilts you have made especially the Baltimore quilt.
Some very nice quilt that you have made.
All very nice, Joy, I love the top one :-))
