How sweet is this, three quilts made by family members, a Mum, her Daughter and her Sister have all made quilts using the same blocks.
The quilts were made as group quilts where each member (12) made up twelve identical blocks which were then all sent to a coordinator who collected up all of the 144 blocks and divided them up into packages of twelve individual blocks which were then dispersed among the group members who then added sashings, cornerstones and borders.
As you can see the group is called Sew Slow Sisters and the quilt blocks were originally made in 2006. Its interesting to see how the fabrics and colours chosen by family members end up looking so very different.
Janice's quilt is in red and white fabrics, the blocks are edges with red too and the cornerstones have a fun bow tie design. Quilted with 'Daisies' in a cream thread.
What a difference fabric and colour can make......and at last they are all now quilted too.

The first quilt here is Aunty Shirley's made in cool blue fabrics with white, the cornerstones are a rail fence design which add a lovely ovement to the quilt top. Quilted with a design called 'Green Tea Leaves' using a white thread.
Katheryn's quilt blocks have a pink and girly theme, the bold purples sashings, ( no cornerstones), and maroon backing tone down the colours while the white borders of the blocks add a fantastic contrast. Quilted with 'Happy Times' using a shocking pink thread.
