She was recently in the hospital and although I didn't finish the quilt in time, when I did give it to her she cried. And I found out that she refuses to use it and is instead going to hang it on her wall. I didn't know what pattern to pick when first deciding on making her quilt, but I knew it had to be colorful. She loves blues and purples and always has sequins and other shiny things on her outfits. Luckily I was able to use my stash of batiks, with the exception of the backing material.
    beautiful. I love the colors, too. Using it as a wall hanging may bring more comfort to her than using it as a cover,

    We can never have too many mothers! What a beautiful gift for her, and your batiks are wonderful in this pattern.
