Fall Wedding quilt

You've seen this one before, but I wanted to add it to my gallery where I can find it easily. I made this 5 years ago for my brother's wedding. His bride loves fall colors... It was a challenge to make since they are out of my comfort zone. It was one of my first attempts at free motion quilting. The fans are all hand pieced and hand appliqued. Their cat loved it!

I did this Lonestar (sometimes called Morning Star) for my DS1 a couple of years ago. He picked out a funky dragon print and asked me to make him a "Firey" quilt. I'd just finished making his sister's Lonestar, so I made his with the same pattern. I added flame appliques and a stary sky print on the inner border. It's backed with bright green flannel.

This was a quilt I did for one of hubby's co-workers new off-spring. It has a flannel backing printed with more stars. He's 4 now and still snuggles it occasionally.
