Chevron Quilt

I had been wanting to make this pattern for a while so I decided to make it for my cousin Pamela for her graduation.  When I went to look at fabric, I didn't really find anything like what I was thinking and I just kept coming back to this fabric because I absolutely LOVED it!  I finally decided I was just going to get it and hopefully she would like it, because I wasn't sure if it "looked" like her.  I think it turned out absolutely gorgeous, anyways . . .  :)

The front

The back


While quilting it this way took forever and was kind of frustrating, it really adds to the quilt and makes it look lovely!


And a special thank you to my mom for quilting the border for me!  I've yet to do any quilting besides "straight" line quilting!

Morgan's Quilt - My First Quilt!

One day I decided I wanted to make a quilt using the whole blocks in this quilt, so I cut them into blocks and went from there.  I found the scrappy block look online and figured out what size each piece needed to be and then found fabrics we already had and made each block how I wanted it to look.

The front

 The back

I saw these letter blocks and decided to recreate my own for the back of this quilt to make it more fun:)

 I ended up doing a scrappy binding, piecing them together as a rainbow.



Although it's definitely not perfect, being my first quilt and all, I still think it turned out pretty cute!
