A Tale of 2 Quilts

2 Twelve-year old girls with 2 very different personalities = 2 very different quilts:

1- A tomboy whose favorite colors are red & blue.  I went with simple, stream-lined with solids and lots of negative space.
I'm about half way done with the back.  It's going to be a reversible quilt -a play on the front.

2- A girlie girl who loves high heels and wants to be grown up like her older sister.  Her favorite color is yellow.  I went for busier patterns that include flowers with a more "sophisticated" feel.  Here's a sneak peek at some of it.  I'm hoping to be done with this quilt top by tomorrow.
Other projects:
Skiill Builder- I think there's a new block.  I should probably check on that.
Blogger BOM- Up to date
Christmas blocks - no progress
Halloween Wall-hanging- no progress
