Halle's Quilt - This pattern I used I deleted four rows of the pattern to make it a crib size quilt. But it was large enough to fit on a youth bed. I used Polka Dotted Pinks and browns along with plain pink and brown. I did stippling on the quilt and created my own pattern of a heart in some of the blocks. It was a fun quilt to make and I also made a 2nd one for my granddaughter Alaynah.

Bargello - This was truly a challenging wall hanging. It was beautiful once it was all finished but I had a dickens of a time getting the columns to come out straight and had to rip quite a lot to make things work according to the pattern. When it was all done I was pleased with the results. I gave it as a Christmas gift to my son and his girlfriend in 2006. I don't know if they ever hung it up either so it has not been used to this day!
