Recent quilts I've made

I made this quilt for Brian last Christmas, but didn't get it quilted and bound until this year. No need to wonder why I picked this pattern for him.
Closeups of some of the sections.

I had fun with the colors and fabrics, trying to make the fish look somewhat realistic

This next quilt was for Alex's birthday, I've made all the kids one, working down in age. They are all different. It is fun to pick a theme for each of them, Alex's was fishing
I picked the only smiling shark, because he is afraid of the ones with the big teeth and I didn't want him to have a scary quilt.
I also make matching pillows for the kid's quilts.


Right away, he put the pillows to use. I have so much fun quilting!!
