I wanted to get this made in a hurry so I picked an easy pattern, hit my stash and in three days this is what I ended up with. I pieced it on a Saturday night from 10:30 to 1:30 AM and then pieced the back on Sunday and long arm quilted it myself on monday and sewed down the binding on Tuesday. Phew. It is done and on it's way tomorrow. I hope it gives her comfort and warmth. I used my friends long arm and this is my third quilt on a long arm. It is a rose vine pattern with brown varigated thread.

Soooo pretty! Soothing colors. So sweet of you to do this for her.

Love the colors.........you did a very nice job. You are an angel.

I'm stunned that anything done that quickly can turn out so well. The quilting patter is wonderful!

well I feel like the borders look LOL :lol: I little wavy but, hey what ya expect at 1 in the morning. I was in no mood to measure, pin and ease to avoide the "wavy border" She is just going to crawl under it anyways so I don't think she will mind.... LOL I should be ashamed :oops: of those borders though and the sew job on the binding but, like I said phew!! It took me 8 hours on Monday to get it quilted.

Beautiful. And your quilting is gorgeous!! Did you follow a stencil or Pantograph?

such a lovely work of love for her! She can wrap in your love & care...that is way cool! God bless her & you for your talents too!

It's gorgeous! I love the quilting and the pattern! Amazing that you did it so quickly!

Very pretty, reminds me of the old sepia photographs.

This quilt is beautiful! Such soothing, warm colors, great back and fantastic quilting!

That's awesome!

And talk about record time... it doesn't look quick, it looks great! Well done :-)

your friend. I know she will get a
great deal of pleasure from it, while
having it wrapped around her!! You

You did a gorgeous job!! Your friend will absolutely love it. I'm impressed with your quilting, this was only your 3rd time with using a long arm? I couldn't do that well with 3 times, I can guarantee that.

gorgeous quilt. she will love it.

She's going to love this quilt you made for her!!
Very nice & the quilting looks great!!

Wow, that looks so pretty. Makes me think of a nice warm cup of coffee. Good job!

What a wonderful gift for your friend. I love the colors.

How thoughtful of you!

I'm still amazed you could get that done so fast!

I do like the pattern and think your quilting is great!
(and I think considering how much it will be appreciated,
your efforts will be rewarded!----and I do hope your
friend with brain cancer "beats" it)

Very very pretty! Your quilting is wonderful too. I hope it brings her comfort.

Very pretty. I think I have a pantograph like that one. Very nice with the variegated thread. :D

I hope it brings her much comfort...Very nice...It is a great way to support your friend.

Your quilt is lovely, just 100% lovely!!!!

I was a young widow and my first husband died from a brain tumor at a young age, I wish I knew how to quilt when he was sick, it would have been wonderful to have made a quilt for him, and I would be able to take it out today and have memories of him.

She is so lucky to get a quilt from you, such a lovely quilt from your hands.

I hope it does too. I hope it gives her girls age 5 and 7 and her sister and mother comfort too. I feel so bad for them. I wish her well. I am so tired of cancer. My hubby's leukemia, this issue, and everyday I hear more people have cancer. It is an ugly monster that we can not see until it seems to have reared it's ugly head to much too fast.

The colors are just delicious, and I love the rose pattern. I've made several Take Fives, and they do go together quickly. Yours is lovely!

It's just lovely. I love the machine quilting! Thanks so much for sharing.

Bless your heart sweetie what a blessing you are to this friend the quilt is so beautiful you are putting jewels in your crown with a heart like you have nearly brings tears to my eyes i lost my Mom,Dad,a Sister,a brother in law,to that ugly word i sure hope she gets many comfort times out of this quilt Thanks for Poeple like you in this world I don't know her but i just wanted to thank you as well for being such a sweet person

Happy Quilting

Wow! Three days! It takes me that long to decide on a pattern and pick the fabric! The colors are really nice and your quilting is awesome.Very nice work for doing it so fast :!:

Thanks so much. It was the least I could do. So many have done sooooo much for us with DH illness. I just want to pay it forward. As for Three days. It was crazy but, it is done. Time is of the essence so, it was important to get it done. They gave it to her tonight. They said she was all smiles. I hope it helps.

She will love it. You did a great job on the quilting.

Love the quilt, the quilting and the friendship behind it. I'm sure she will absolutely love it.

Awesome work. You're a special person -- so generous, so gifted.
