Pictures of your Quilts please. UPDATE I FOUND THE PATTERN

[Kiowa]

Impressive! I'm new to backyard chicken and so far you can't keep me off it! Before I was playing stupid facebook games and now that I have my 9 bay girls, I'm hooked. But not to forget, I have a project I've been wanting to start for some time now. My Grandmother left me with about 17 cloth calenders she collected. One for every year from the time I was born until she died.For years I shuffled them around, each time thinking what will I ever do with these? My Mom finished her hand sewn,king size quilt about 4 years ago. She had been working on it from the time I was little. 40 something years. It is amazing! I'll have to get a picture of it! So it came to me a couple years ago to take those calenders ( most of them about 8' by10' and some pretty ugly,) and making a quilt. Probably not hand sewn. I was thinking of cutting the numbers out and some of the months and years along with the parts of the pictures that aren't awful and finding a pattern that works. I'm no seamstress like my Mom but I think it will be worth it. I'll keep posting an update and even start my own thread on it. Thanks everyone!

here is the first quilt I ever made. did it last year. I found a pattern for an Irish Chain and had a bunch of fabric that I had got after st. Patrick's day. The one type of fabric was all sorts of square and rectangle's with different irish sayings on them. So I used white and cut out the squares of sayings and sewed them onto the white.

This is huge. it will fit a king size bed so for my little queen size it hits the floor all around the bed. I love it!!!!
This was before I finished it. The back is a dark green which is folded over to make an edge all around the quilt. I am still learning though.

I've loved looking at your quilts. I've done a few patchwork denim quilts, but nothing at all fancy til this spring. Now, I've completed two quilts, and i"m working on a third.

This was my first. I made it for my 5 year old boy:

Then I did this one for my 7 year old:


And this is what I'm currently working on for my 12 year old:

Love the kalidescopes, I do them a lot too, but haven't done any star shapes, just the 6 sided hexagon (?)

Do you stack and whack, or fussy cut??

They are all beautiful. I'm so glad we are still seeing everyone put their quilts on here. Thanks for sharing them.

More stack and whack than fussy cut. I'm still kind of a beginner, and I don't think I've got the eye yet for fussy cut.
