Default A quilt for Mom

Quilt I made for my Mon's 85th birthday. Her middle name is Olympia so I enlarged the Olympia star block from Quilter's Cache http://www.quilterscache.com/O/Olymp...tionBlock.html as medallion and used https://www.e-patternscentral.com/de...ned+nine+patch to create the quilt. I then made a label of personal quotes from each of her nine children. Then made pillow cases and shams to match. Took six months and worth every minute.

YOU are a wonderful daughter and your mother will love this. How thoughtful to include your siblings in this gift too.
