The Year of the Quilts

This year I decided to make everyone in my family quilts for their birthdays. (um, yes, I am a little out of my mind). I am loving how they are all turning out so far and am having fun planning all the future ones.  Let's just say time management has become a HUGE objective for me to work on this year.  It took me a while to get these pictures up but here are the quilts I've done so far.

Payton

For Payt's I decided to go a little retro and keep it simple so it looks more masculine.  I chose the colors to match his room and the Utes, but gotta say it's a pretty classic and great color combo.




Makaylee

This is by far my favorite quilt I have made to date. I wanted to do something that looked like a classic quilt pattern but with a little bit of a modern twist. Love this and love KKs color combo too....



Maycee

For Maycee's I wanted to do something a little more playful and fun and fell in love with this pattern.  I love pinwheel quilts but I thought this was a cute twist on the old standard.


I need to make some of these for myself!!  I have already bought fabric to make my own versions of Makaylee's and Maycee's but it's sitting uncut, waiting.  I went to bundle up in a blanket a couple of weeks ago and had someone tell me I needed to do it in one of my quilts and I realized I only have one, I've given them all away and never made the ones for me!  Gotta get that time management under control and get my quilts done as well...I've got a few more for the family and some friends in progress already and several more in planning stages.  Can't wait to show you more.....
