This week over at Vals the link up topic is LAP QUILTS.

I have done quite a few lap quilts but I came across this photo of my grandsons watching TV and ready for bed.

They were curled up under my sons quilt and crocheted blanket.

This quilt was my first curved seam quilt and it was all done by hand. I think it was my 3rd quilt I had made. I made this in the year 2000. It was for his 6th birthday.

Unfortunately you can only see the back....

They are always using my quilts and I am so happy to make them, for them to be thrown about and then washed over and over.

Well I thought I'd get out the quilt and take some photos of the front
Here is another post about this comforting quilt.

I made this quilt in a Carol Lewis class over in Gisborne a few years back. When Quilters Bazaar was there. It was a round robin quilt.. But the twist was that it was your own quilt.
We had to make a certain size centre for our first gathering.
Next month was a triangle border followed by an applique border. Next was a curved border. The size  and design of borders was up to you. I did get it finished and it has been sitting around for the right moment. I gave it to my daughter for her business to donate it to the childcare to be Auctioned for a fundraiser. I still have to find out how much was raised.
If you need some roofing, guttering or spouting jobs done check them out.
