I have played at quilting for a few years now. Unfortunately, I usually forget to take a picture of the finished quilt before giving it away. There are a couple I have on hand though and have added them here.
My first official, did it right quilt was
a small wall quilt. I hand quilted the majority of it. When I got to the border,
though, I couldn't keep it in my frame. I finished it by machine.
I home schooled my boys for a time and
one of the projects was to make a quilt. Alex picked out the fabrics from the
odds and ends I had. There weren't many options at that time, but I thought he
did well with his choices. We cut the pieces out together. I ended up sewing
lengths together and he arranged them. I attempted to hand quilt this one also,
but after three months I finished it by machine. The picture is small, all I
could find was the thumbnail.
I made my mom a memory quilt for her 70th
birthday. Growing up there was a frame with pictures of all us kids hanging on
the wall. I ended up with the pictures after my father passed away. I scanned
the pictures and printed them onto fabric. I had wanted to added recent pictures
of us also, but trying to get 9 people to send a picture of themselves in a
timely fashion proved impossible, so I gave up. She seemed quite happy with the
outcome.
