Grandson Kyle's HS Graduation Quilt

Posting pictures of the U of M quilt that I made for my grandson Kyle's high school graduation. It is a plaid pattern with no border. I machine quilted it in straight lines vertically and horizontally to emphasize the "plaidness". It doesn't really show up on this photo taken with a cell phone though.
The machine embroidered quilt label features graphics of the Utica H.S. mascot (chieftain) and the U of M logo. This represents the end of high school and the beginning of college life.

A Quilt for our new granddaughter!

Here finally are pictures of the baby quilt that I made for our new granddaughter, Quincee Rae Abbitt. My daughter had told me about the fabric she purchased online to make curtains for the baby's room. I immediately went online and purchased more of the same fabrics to make the quilt. I think she was quite surprised to open it up and see that it was a matching quilt!
It was my first attempt at stippling. Although the stipples are quite large, I am extremely happy at how they turned out. It actually was faster too than the way I has going to quilt it with 1/4 inch outlining.
Sorry, I didn't get a picture of the label on the back. It had a little girl releasing a bird into the air. Very cute too!
