Mom Gallahan's quilt

Mom Gallahan's quilt turned out to be one of my favorites.  I found these great yellow and gray coordinating fabrics and then decided that I really needed something else to pop on this quilt, and the pink turned out awesome.  Each strip is a "braided" pattern, which sounds really hard but isn't bad to do.  This was free-motion quilted with a meadering leaf pattern.  Mom Gallahan was very excited about this present, she told me that she'd never had a homemade quilt of her own before.

Teresa's quilt

Teresa told me her favorite color was teal/aqua, so I found these great coordinating fabrics for her quilt.  The pattern is called Tortilla Flats, which is a variation of a 9-patch.  The quilting on this one took me the longest, partly because I was getting used to the new sewing machine.  I free-motion quilted in flowers and leaves.  Each block had a free-hand flower and in between each block was a stem with leaves on it.
