I made this quilt about 2 years ago for a friend of mine. It is called a 6 hour quilt.  When you finish with the quilt it is finished, no taking to the longarm person to quilt it for you. However on this one I wanted to try free motioning on my regular home sewing machine. It turned out pretty good for the first try. I liked it.

Front of a 6 hour quilt we made for our grandson Will a few years ago. These are the easiest quilts possible. You sew the front and back together at the same time with the batting between the pieces. Like a sandwich.

Back of Will’s 6 hour quilt. By using different fabrics you have two in one quilts.

This is one side of a 6 hour quilt. It was made for use to be boss at the Post Office when we were there. Mr. Romager was retiring and he was a big Auburn Fan.  He also played golf so the other side was golf.  He has two quilts in one.

These quilts are great to make for children also. They are fast and very easy. You do not mind seeing them in the floor laying on them or playing with them like you do on quilts you spend months working on and money to have it quilted or even quilt it yourself.

This should be something you think about to get started on the presents for 2010. No trips to the longarmer! You start and finish and delivery.

I have a list of what I want to make for who this year and  I am ready to get started. Be creative. People love gifts that someone spent their time on making instead of running in the store picking out a meanless gift.
