Summertime Quilts

I don't normally quilt during the summer. There is to much to do that I cannot do in the winter. This summer espically. I took two summer courses to finish up my reading endorsement, my fabulous mother in law came to town to help celebrate B's fourth birthday, took the reading specialist exam and tried to keep my house clean. There were three pending births at school though and so I had to whip out three easy quilts

Pink Elephants on Parade

Here is a picture of a quilt I made this summer. The fabric was brought back from Tialand, a co-worker went there for his honeymood. They will forever have a reminder the trip in thier daughter's baby quilt. Who knows she might have been concieved there.

Summer Daisies:

This bright one was for our reading specialist at school. When asked what her nursery was like she replied "Orange, Yellow and to make it a bit girly we added in Pink. But my favorite color is orange." I was waiting for someone to say that because I was dying to use the border fabric in a quilt but it needed to be for someone who enjoys the BRIGHTS. She loved the quilt!

Turquoise Turning:

The perfect equation for a little girl whose dad is a math teacher/ football coach. He did not know this was coming. And when I asked co-workers they did not know any color/ design requests. So I went with something that was girly without being overly girly.

Pinwheel Roses

This is a quilt I made for a co-worker this winter. The pattern is American Patchwork Quilting Magazine. I used thangles for the half square triangles. This is a relatively easy pattern that looks much harder. The quilt is backed in a rose colored minkie. The green is more in the cream flower print but is not aparent in this small of a picture.
