Our BOM quilts

I have pictures of all the girls' BOM quilts now, so I'm going to put them all on this post even though some of them were posted earlier.  They all did a GREAT job!  The quilt pattern is called "Globetrotter" by Pat Sloan.

Nancy's Globetrotter Quilt.  She wanted it larger, so she made
flying geese and bordered it.  It's all tied and ready to bind.
Great job!

Jan's first quilt ever!  She is going to put borders on it, I believe
she is planning on using flying geese and piano keys with the
leftover fabrics.  She's been sewing forever, things for the house
and the grandkids, but it's her first quilt.  A little bit of a challenge
 for a first quilt, but she tackled it with a smile.  Another great job!!

Florence was the first to finish her quilt.  It looks great
with the border.  Her granddaughter takes a nap on it
every day.  She's a big fan of the color purple.  Florence
quilted hers on her home machine.  Fantastic work!!

Sharon made two at the same time, different color themes.  She is
adding borders and will be totally done soon.  She really was ambitious
 by making two before we even knew what they were going to
look like.  Awesome!!

Sharon's second quilt.  She already has the border on this one
and only needs to quilt or tie it to finish.  Another awesome
 job.  She's now making two queen-size quilts of another pattern
 for her granddaughters.  Very ambitious!


This last one is mine.  I used leftover civil war fabrics.  Just a small border
 on it.  It fits perfectly folded up on the back of our rocking chair from
 the mid 1800's.
 
We had a great time doing this mystery quilt BOM!  We've already started another one, it's a BOM also, but we already have all the patterns.  They are all celtic designs; some are easy, some are more difficult.  We decided on this one so that we can learn new techniques with almost every new block.  We're on the third block now, I'll post pictures of these when we get more done.
