Quilts Quilts and more Quilts! Oh my

Well I wasn't going to make a separate blog for my quilts, but after thinking about it I realized it was a good idea to do this. I am now selling my quilts and and so I believe this will make it easier to talk about without them getting mixed in with my personal life.

So just so you all can see what I've been up to here
This was the quilt that started it all. I made it for one of my nieces and fell in love with doing it. So I also made another for my other niece that looks like this
These take me about 3 - 4 days to make and are so cute! Right now I'm working on one for my step dad's coworker. She wants it to be a christmas present for her new born granddaughter. It's going to be a pink and brown puppy. I should have it done tomorrow night so check back to see it all finished. Right now it looks like this:
Once its all sewn together it will be about 6 inches smaller and have a brown backing. They're not shown here but the eyes are going to be black. She also asked me to make a quilt out of her old denim jeans and so far I have 6 pieces of denim cut out and 5 pieces of cotton. It's going to have a fleece backing and no batting. If I put in batting it would be way to heavy.
I believe this quilt will be done sometime next week or right before christmas. It takes a lot just to make a few pieces because it's hard to cut through jean. I'll post updates on this one as I go. Anyways hope you guys like everything so far. I'll try to post tomorrow with the finished Pink and Brown Puppy quilt.
