6 kids quilts

This Christmas, I decided to make quilts for the 6 kids that I know that don't have their own quilts.  I realized that they were getting older and I still hadn't made them their own quilt.  So I was determined to make each one their own.  I think they came out really well.

This is Taylors pink quilt.  I took 64 pink squares that measured 8 inches each and matched them with the light and darks.  Then I marked a line on the diagonal and sewed the 2 quarter inch seams on each side.  That gave me  64 squares.  With 8 rows of 8 it came to about 60 inches.  Very fun and easy to make.

This is Laurens tourquoise quilt.  It was constructed the same as her sisters pink quilt.  I asked Lauren one day to pick her favorite color and she chose a beautiful tourquoise hand dyed fabric that I made.  At first, I didn't want to cut into it, but I'm glad I did.  It looks beautiful.

This is Reese's diagonal quilt.  She chose the fabrics.  I had to choose a few more to round it out.  This was a little challenging, because I think I did it the hard way.  After I finished it, I found the directions on how to make an easier version.

 This is Jensen's Doctor Seuss quilt. I asked him if he liked Doctor Seuss and he was so happy because he watches it on TV.

 This is Nicholas dot quilt.  I used all dot fabric and put pictures of Nicholas and his family in some of the squares.  I used the patches from my block of the month club and surrounded all the pictures with dot fabric.

 This is Jessicas princess quilt.  I only had a few pictures of Jessica, so I had to intersperse pictures of princesses in with her pictures.
