I made this lap quilt for my grandmother for her 93rd birthday. She loves it.

The center was a pattern in a magazine that was suppose to be a wall hanging. I wanted it bigger so I just started randomly adding pieces to it till I got to the size I wanted.

Beautiful! You are so lucky to have her. Between my husband and I the eldest relative we have are our older sisters... and they're only 55!

Love the sunflowers. You did a great job on increasing the size of it.
