Quilts for the week...

These two quilts were UFO's out of my own quilt stash that have been sitting waiting to be finished for a while. The first is a Storm at Sea that was foundation pieced and then stippled all over.
The second is hand appliqued and quilted with a lovely heart pattern to compliment the patchwork pattern.
