Name that quilt (s) - CONTEST

Are you very good at coming up with names for your quilts? I'm terrible!! I love putting labels on quilts but adding a name is always a challenge for me. I'm going to try to sell some of my quilts this summer at the Sisters Quilt Show and all the quilts require names!!

So I'm having a contest: name this quilt!!
Actually there are several!!
Here we go:

This was made using the layer cake and French General fabric line. 

This was an antique top I bought some years ago. 

I put this together using blocks from an old swap. 

I think I bought these half square triangles and sewed them together into pinwheels. I have one more needing a name but it's not on my phone. 

Winners will be announced Friday!! I've got lots to give away!

Thanks for your help!

  3. I have a friend that is so great at naming things--sadly, I'm not! So, here's my feeble attempt in order:

  9. Your first quilt: "Around the Block Again"; 2nd: Peach Pie"; 3rd:"Fear of Flying"; and last:"Pinwheel Party" Maybe??? I find that while I am working on a quilt a name seems to pop up to me...or sometimes my DH is good at saying something that makes a name spring to mind. Hugs Julierose

  14. Randy, what a fun idea! Everyone has had such good names. Okay, here are some of my ideas. For quilt #1) Squared Away, Sitting in the Corner, or Lafayette. #2) Plain and Simple, Back to the Basics, or In The Beginning (because as beginner quilters we start with 9 patches) #3) Blueberry Garden #4) Pinwheel Heaven or Swing Your Partner. I will keep thinking and might have some more ideas.

  15. Oh I want to play too!! The first thing that came to my mind when I looked at the pictures were: #1 The French's Marching In. (people in the border?) #2 Hopscotch (don't know why) #3 Mardi Gras #4 Windy Day. - you will end up with so many wonderful suggestions, you'll have to do a thousand quilts more lol.

  22. Your quilts are beautiful. I am really bad at naming anything. When ever naming quilts comes up my reply is "I was barely able to name my children". Sadly it is pretty true.

  23. I'm bad with names too, and you made it harder with four names! Okay, here are mine: French Courtyard, Hopscotch, Dream Ripples, and Whirly World.
