Last minute gifts

 Oh boy, no time for custom quilting in the month of December I've discovered!! I've had some e-2-e quilts to complete for some lucky people, and I'm pleased with the way they have turned out. Denise's beautiful Labyrinth quilt, really came up nicely.  
This is one of those quilts that you could spend a lot of time doing extensive custom quilting on it, and not really being able to see the beautiful workmanship (in good lighting it shows up nicely).   However, using a nicely spaced e-2-e design can be just as effective.
See???..........  the swirls match in with the cream background fabric.
Denise cut back down on the very wide borders of this pre cut pattern kit, and I have to say I like the balance she has given the entire quilt.  
The original borders were very wide, and minimised the centre block.  I think Denise chose wisely, and it turned out very nice.
Christina's quilt............ wow, this young lady designed the pattern herself, making it an "original" in my books. 

I like the fabric selection............... the yellow looks amazing.


A great use of the left over fabrics, pieced and placed in the middle of the backing fabric.
How good does this look???
Two quilts in one!!!    I love the back just as much as the front.
Kerry-Anne has made three of these Marine themed quilts.  All for the young men in her family.
The fleur de lys in the fabric, and the same fleur de lys as the quilting.

How cute is the pillow sham???
Nice work Kerry-Anne, I think they turned out great.
