I gave this to my mother this past feb. for her 88th BD. All the leaves represent her children and spouses, grandchildren, great grandchildren, and great-great grandchildren.
The large corner leaves say wife and mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and great-great- grandmother |
That is just exquisite! What a wonderful gift.

What a wonderful gift. Beautiful.

You have made a great quilt. I expect it will be a prized item for many generations. I'm just wondering what you will say when someone wants you to put some more leaves and names on it. I think it can be done. :D I simply love your quilt.

That is way to cool.
|
I'm glad so many are enjoying this and maybe inspired to do one of their own. All the grands are so excited that their name is on this quilt.
The triple sashing between the greens has a small 9 patch at the corners, using the fabric in the triple sash. I diferentiated the boy/girl leaves at all levels by color. Thanks again to all |
All I can say is... WOW!
|
what a beautiful gift and so well thought out
|
Oh, how neat. I'm sure she loved it.
|
I like your idea... thanks for sharing
