The Other Side of the Quilt

I woke up to some great inspiration by Katie at swimbikequilt! She created a linky-party to share "the other side of the quilt". How clever!  I was excited to link-up and share a couple of  quilt backs I've made that offer an element of surprise and whimsical fun. Here's two of my favorites:

My daughter's 4-H Quilt:

She made the top, or should I say she started the top, while she was in middle school. She was crazy about the color purple and was busy raising rabbits for her 4-H projects...thus all the cute bunny and purple fabrics. While sorting through her childhood things last year, I decided to finish the quilt top for her: 

I incorporated her club t-shirt, and fabric from her favorite bunny PJ's on the back along with some "out-of-the-box" piecing that included her name:

And of course, good ol' Jackson thinks the photo shoot is all about him! LOL!!

Here's a close-up picture of the back:

Whimsical Butterfly!

This is my 30's flower quilt! (One of my favorites!!)

 I ran out of fabric for the back so added some strips and couldn't resist making a butterfly to go with the "garden of flowers":

 Cute huh!

I created a quick shortcut to Katie's Linky Party for ya and the cool thing is she is keeping the party open for a couple months! So we all have plenty of time to share.
