The Quilts of Christmas 2012: Two
Once I had decided that I was going to make a queen quilt for Sherry and Chris for Christmas, it seemed only right to keep going!
Tom and Anastasia have a queen quilt that I made when they married. Their bedroom is on the dark side of the house, and the black background of that quilt adds to the darkness. I wanted something lighter.
Their furniture is blue. I had some blocks from a wonderfully successful swap I had run a couple of years ago: cool color batiks on white background. I only had to make two or three more blocks to have enough for a queen quilt.
I gave this to them during our Christmas visit (more about which later), along with a set of white flannel sheets. They were pleased.

Applause, applause!
I know just what you mean about treating the kids fairly even after they're grown ups. That's why I made two Shade Cascade quilts for our boys. The quilts are identical in pattern and similar in layout, but have some fabrics that are different.
I look forward to seeing Christmas gift quilt #3!
Hugs!
Lovely, fresh, and crisp!
It's surely a stunner!
