I can't remember if I've posted these before, but I just came across these pictures and figured i'd share them. The first top is sewn together, but not sandwiched yet. The random squares are a sampler I've been working on (forever) I'm just learning and I figured the sampler would be a good way to learn. :) If you experts have any tips for me, please don't be shy.
I'm only allowed to post 4 pictures at a time, so I'll reply with the others.

Shelly,
Those are beautiful. I did a sampler quilt for me. It is a great way to learn and make a unique quilt.

That's pretty smart of you to do a sampler! Then with the majority of pieced patterns, you'll be able to say, "ah ha! I've done that before (half-square triangles, quarter-square triangles, flying geese, strips, etc)."
What are the plans for the quilts when they're finished? Give them to the twins? Throw it on the couch?

Shelly, you are doing a fantastic job! Your fabric choices are great! Thanks for sharing your work!
Blessings,

The sampler will go on our bed. The other one, I haven't decided yet.

And what's your secret for sewing around little ones?! :)

I know nothing about quilting, but looks beautiful, especially for it being your first try!

Working while they are asleep. :)

Very pretty Shelly. Do you plan to hand quilt or machine quilt these? You know I started out with a sampler quilt too. It is a great way to learn lots of different techniques very quickly. ;D I am glad you shared these. I was just thinking today that we needed a post in the sewing/craft section. ;)

Beautiful!!!! I would love to learn to quilt. Honestly though, I'm not gifted in the sewing department! Some day, though, some day!

Beautiful work, Shelly! You've done a great job! :)

Those are so beautiful! I haven't quilted since my Evan was a baby. I have been feeling the itch to get back to it lately! I love the idea of doing a sampler it has been so long I think I have forgotten everything that I learned!

Oh Shelly! These are gorgeous! I am always so inspired by your posts :)

Those are beautiful! I knit and crochet, but I have never really enjoyed sewing. I see these, though, and it makes me want to try a small project.
