Frozen Sister Travel Quilts for my great-nieces...I have finally broken out of the Frozen world..been working on these for the past few weeks and I thought I'd never get done...five of them...pheeew...lots and lots of quilting in these...I got carried away...they are small enough to take with them in the car and on vacation...I think they turned out really well..if you look closely at the last photo, you can see how much free-motion quilting went in to these...

Beautiful quilting and I love the addition of the snowflake border designs.

Thanks so much...when I was digitizing the snowflake borders I thought they might be a bit much...but I think they look okay...and they certainly bring in the Frozen theme!
by NancyBT10 14 Jul 2015
I love the snowflake border that you digitized and they look absolutely perfect on the travel quilts. You have really done an outstanding job on the blankets and any one would surely feel loved by you snuggling beneath one! Super work by a very talented woman!

I am sitting here looking at an enlargement of it with my mouth wide open in amazement. Glorious! What hours this must have taken. The quilting cannot be described.. You are without a doubt the grandest Aunt anyone could ever have..They should treasure these and hand them down to their girls one day. You are remarkable/Lillian

I bet your shoulders and hands are aching. Done my fair share of freemotion but not like this--only stippling or meandering. These was works of art. Lucky little princesses. Love that snowflake border of yours as well--sure wished you lived near me. You'd be a fabulous teacher.

What lucky little girls. This is a feat of unimaginable time and effort. I do hope the little princesses' mommies give Aunt Kimmy a certificate for a massage for those poor tired shoulders and arms.

Wow this is jaw dropping eye stopping to look at for while. Wonderfully done. As I scrolled down placing flowers I see there was a few other jaws dropped. I do pray your hands and wrists are just as fabulous as this looks.

Wow I love the quilting you have done on these. I have almost completed the topper for my daughters quilt using the exact same panel. I have only done fmq on one other quilt and I was wondering how to do the quilting on this one. Now I think I know ;)
