Great Quilts! I am really fond of the fabrics in your second quilt...such soft yet bold browns (that is my first thought, when I saw it). Your quilting looks wonderful.

I also love the borders in the braid and the colours are stunning. The pattern for the second one is beautiful - the floral print squares seems to float. It reminds me of a d9p but with a black frame round the squares, I wonder if it could be made that way?

Encouragement again from this board. I have been afraid to try to quilt anything larger than a baby quilt on my Singer. You did so well on your "little Brother" that I think I will try on my next quilt. THANKS!

Both of your quilts are lovely! The french braid is so cheerful, with the rainbow colors and the pinwheel blocks are an inspired touch. Your sister's quilt is so smart and elegant looking, I love the strong contrast of the black and cream colors.

Both are very pretty, but I love all the color in Alannah's quilt!
