Hello, just wanted to show you what I've been working on. My mom's 80th birthday is April 30th so I've been working hard to get this done so I can get it mailed on time. You can see my "fancy" display board (which is a queen size bed that is standing upright) when my sewing/guest bedroom is just a sewing room. I pinned white flannel to it so the colors would show true. Next weekend I hope to get it quilted. Most of the quilt was from a quilt designed by Linda Jenkins called Sunny Days Quilt. I did my borders different than the pattern. Mom's favorite color is yellow.

It is so sunny and happy! Love it!

It's beautiful. What a special gift!!!

So cheery, aren't you lucky to have a Mom celebrating such a special milestone!

Just beautiful. Your mom will enjoy looking at it and knowing you made it just for her. I made my Mom one for her 88th BD and hung it so she would see it every day and she loves it. It's a tree with leaves that had her children, grandchildren, great grandchildren and great-great grandchildrens names on them.

I love it! Gorgeous! And that is brilliant to use the bed like that for your design board! I never would have thought of it!! :D

That's so pretty! Your mom is going to flip! Make more!

mgshaw wrote It does take up a little more space in the room to use the bed for a design board, but I don't want to store it out in the shop as I'm afraid that mice would get in it. At least I am able to use it & it works pretty well. I safety pinned the white flannel to it & everything sticks to the flannel pretty well.

Thanks for the nice comments everyone!! :D

That is so nice and your Mom will just love it!

What a happy quilt! I'm sure she will love it!

Love your quilt. It does remind me of a sunny day. The flowers are great. Are they appliqued.

That is so colorful. I love it and I'm sure your Mom will treasure it!

I love it and I'm sure your mom will too!

I think you'll get to see your 80-year-old mother do back flips when she sees this quilt! Just beautiful! I bought myself some daffodils this week, and every time I look at them I feel happy. I'll bet that's what this quilt will do for your lucky mom!

I love it! It's such a happy color. The quilt is stunning.

Very pretty and happy!!

Lucky you to still have your mom with you. I hope she just loves it. I know I would cry if a child of mine put so much time and work into something like this for me.

That's adorable!

A beautiful quilt, for sure!
And, that yellow! I can just see that quilt on her bed, all sunny and glowing ... in the gray days of winter, with smiles from everyone who sees it! Very nice job, indeed!

My Mom would jhave loved that, her favorite was yellow also. Give her a big hug for me :D

It is beautiful!!! Your mother is going to love this, it will surely put a smile on her face :D :D :D

Thank you so much for all the nice comments. It brings tears to my eyes. My Mom has been battling cancer & is doing low dose Chemo treatments right now. I'm hopeful that she will still have a few more years...we'll see what the Lord has planned for her. Thanks again. Your comments mean a lot to me.

Your quilt is beautiful. The colours are so fresh and happy! :D
