07.13.10 - finished quilts

Here are a few crafts I've been working on:

I made my sister a quilt for her birthday. It was my first time to ever make one, and it isn't perfect by any means. But as it was my first one, it's still pretty special. I used the African prints because Stephanie will be spending 3 weeks in Kenya this month! She's there right now, actually. To keep up with her travels, check out her blog.

Anyways, here are a few pics of her quilt:

You can even see how I "quilted" through the fabric a bit in this next picture!

With the leftover material, I made one for Joel, using bigger squares for the front, and a new fabric for the back.. GIRAFFE! I love the giraffe print :) and you can see in the last picture how I did some actual quilting on this one! My quilting lines aren't exactly straight.. oops.. but I still like the finished product :)
