My girlfriend retired yesterday after 32 years with the county - here is her gift!
 

A Magic Carpet Ride Quilt! The order got mixed up but I am not going to upload them again. I showed different views of the quilt and also I made 4 coordinating pillowcase and used one to wrap it all up, using a scrap of material to make a ribbon bow. She asked for red, white and black. I used yardage, jelly rolls, and a varigated thread for the FMQ. My bf did the binding (I hate bindings)

Beautiful gift for your friend. I'm sure she will love it ~ you did a great job!

OH, That is absolutely gorgeous. I love the colors. You did a beautiful job.

What a wonderful gift. Love the colours, so dynamic. I'm sure that your friend will be thrilled. Thank you for sharing.

Great gift and I'm sure she is going to be thrilled to receive it. You did a great job and makes me want to hurry and make a black, white and red quilt.
