Some oldies but goodies

     For Christmas hubby gave me a new MacBook Air and I just LOVE it!  However, anytime I want to write a post with a picture and it was taken anytime before December 2013, I have to go pull out the old Dell and email it to myself.  The other day my friend Michelle mentioned a quilt she had made, and mentioned I'd made one similar but used the same fabrics.

     Going thru my pictures looking for my quilt and looking at all the old quilts I did had me uploading just a few to share here....

   
This quilt was made when a co-worker ran her first marathon on her 28th birthday, and FINISHED!



This black/white/turquoise was made for my daughter in her first apartment.  



This quilt was made for me, by me, from a layer cake I'd received from my friend Michelle as a little "hello" gift when we met up at retreat one year.  

This one was made to be used as a raffle quilt for our Special Ed class in school.  It enabled them to go on extra trips throughout the year that they wouldn't normally get to go on.

And, last but certainly not least, my daughter's wedding quilt and label.  I'd made this quilt from a tutorial on "A Little Bit Biased's" blog.   
I actually made this one and another but that one hasn't been photographed yet nor has the binding been sewn on....and yes, it's from early April or May of 2013 but it's one of those quilts I made because I LOVED making the stars and since it's not for anyone in particular, the binding will go on whenever I find the time or whenever I need a quilt .



And HERE is the quilt that inspired my search

What pretty quilts! I made a black and white and turquoise Schnibble. My first inclination was to use red with the b&w but I really loved the turquoise. I can sympathize with the computer/photo issue--the joy of new electronics is tempered by the hassle of relearning/updating, etc.

Thank you for sharing these. I especially like that you donated one to the special ed class. In fact, yours inspired me to think, "What if I made a quilt to look like the puzzle piece logo to donate to an autism group?" Hmm…

Oooooh, I love those fabrics!!! Very cool quilt! I think I want to do the one I posted on Pinterest in bright colors similar to the autism awareness logo.

It's lovely going back through and finding photos of your early quilts I think. I do love your daughter's wedding quilt, but my favourite that you've shown is the one made for the special needs class. I love the colours and the design layout.
