How do you ever choose a favorite quilt? It's like choosing a favorite child! Soma at Whims and Fancies is having her annual Trunk Full of Quilts show where we get to show some of our favorite quilts.
Since it is fall I will start off with the quilts that are currently up around my house.
There are quilts done in QALs which are always exciting......
.....and blog hops.....
I think that mygreatest joy comes from the quilts that are gifted to others. I wish I had been taking photos before I started blogging as I have made a quilt for each of the grandchildren. Now, some of them want "grown up quilts" which make this grandma's heart sing. Whether it is for family or needy causes, quilting for others is a great feeling.
Christmas is quickly approaching and the Christmas quilts will soon be brought out for enjoyment.
Of course we can't forget the swap quilts. The x and + quilt was one of my favorites. I love the scrappy goodness of it.
This will be my next favorite bee quilt.
This is just a small sampling of the joy that quilting has given me through the years. To see some really spectacular work be sure to visit the links on Soma's blog.

Mary, they are all stunning! But, I adore Tea for Two! You have fantastic works here for sure...
ReplyDeleteSo many beautiful quilts. I agree picking a favorite would be difficult if not impossible.
ReplyDeleteMary, your quilts are so beautiful! The chickadee and silent night are awesome and just happen to be my favourite bird and Christmas carol.
ReplyDeleteI remember some of these quilts from the blog hops, but it is so fun to see them mixed in with others I haven't seen. The Silent Night musical notes...love it! Well, I love all of them actually. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI agree, too hard to pick a favorite, glad you just showed them all!! :)
ReplyDeletePretty pieces ♥
ReplyDeleteIt's been awhile since we blog hopped together. What a fun trip thru your trunk!

ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful show. Fantastic quilts. I so love the Tea For Two quilt-is that a panel.
ReplyDeleteSo tell me again what you do in your spare time?!? I don't usually like jack-o-lantern quilts, but yours makes me smile. And I love the red and green one near the end. Now get busy making quilts for the grands.
ReplyDeleteIt is fun to see them all in one post.
ReplyDeleteThis just made my heart sing, as I went through this grouping of your quilts (as I know you have many many more). The Grinch! I knew that one, as I did also the pumpkin with the Scrabble teeth (another favorite). I love all your quilts--thank you for the afternoon quilt show. You are the best.
ReplyDeleteWow!! What a fantastic selection of quilts! So much variety and talent here. I love how you've sewn so many different styles and blocks and colors and fabrics. You are truly a quilting Renaissance woman :)
ReplyDeleteYour Silent Night quilt is still my all time favorite.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing this wonderful assotment of quilts. Quilts do bring joy, both in the making and the viewing.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful collection of quilts! I can't choose a favorite, either. I love your quilt diversity, too. And I agree... they bring such joy to the one creating and the one receiving.
ReplyDeleteWow, what a great trunk show - how lovely to see so many of your quilts in one post, and so many different looking ones too!It sounds like you had fun making every one!

I love being able to revisit your beautiful quilts. All wonderful, both big and small - they truly warm the heart.
ReplyDeleteSo much lovely variety! Of course you can't pick a favorite. Each is wonderful in its own way. (But I have to say I'm particularly drawn to the one with strips--jelly roll?--and the tiny four-patches.)
ReplyDeleteMy goodness Mary your quilts are stunning. You certainly do have quite a few and with lots of variety. Your love for quilting is shining through. Thank you for hopping.
ReplyDeleteMary your quilts are beautiful!! I surely can't pick a favorite! They are all wonderful.
ReplyDeleteSo many beautiful quilts! The jack o lantern is great but that elephant quilt would be my son't favorite. I have yet to make one of those for him!
ReplyDeleteLove them all.
