This was for his 18th birthday. It was half square triangles and a charm pack of plaids, lovely gold and Jinny Beyer borders:
And then his 21st which was hexagons made from 60* triangles, but with two strips of orange and turquoise sewn together. I used the hexagons with orange centres for the front of the quilt, and the turquoise centres for the reverse and the borders. From memory about 30 - or more - of each colour, the oranges range from almost pink through to gold at the other end of the spectrum. And the turquoises range from pale blues through to almost indigo.
This is the reverse. I had the shakes when I first slashed the large hexagon!
This was their first house warming quilt which I made before they went overseas:
I shall have to go digging through my archives to find a photo of their Wedding Quilt. This is a good start, however!
I can't believe how much quilting I did on them. Back in the olden days before I got ill and when I had far more energy...

Yikes you can make some awesome quilts woman! That is SO much work!! I prefer the small, hard to stuff up ones myself! LOL!
You do have beautiful quilts, here! I love that you shared how hard it was to destroy a hexagon for the shattered ones on the back, that would be me, too! Your design was worth it, though.
Wow, the hexagon quilt especially is gorgeous! I love the colors and the quilting. The back...wolf whistle...amazing.
