I have made and given several quilts. I guess I need some more friends because I have run out of people to give quilts to. :) I feel a little bashful about giving a second quilt. But I cannot stop. I've decided to make some Christmas quilts to give -- that way the recipients can pull them out at Christmas time, but don't have to feel obligated to display/use them on a daily basis.
My first one is made from "Evergreen" by Basic Grey. It is made from a layer cake pattern from Missouri Star Company called "Flock of Geese." I accidentally laid the blocks out in a different direction than the original quilt -- but it doesn't look a lot different. I was pretty tired of making HST by the end of this quilt!
After quilting my Polish Pottery quilt with straight lines, I decided to do this one with straight lines too. I'm liking it. The quilting is not very dense, which makes it drape nicely.
I was lucky enough to have some fabric in my stash that worked well for the backing. I didn't have quite enough so I used some of the extra layer cake squares. Unfortunately I didn't line up the quilt very straight so the stripe up the back is crooked. At least it's the back. :)

Do not be bashful about gifting quilts! We will take as many of YOUR quilts as we can gift! They are incredible!!
