This is the quilt I made for Mama's 81st birthday. Her favorite pattern is "stars" and her favorite colors are pink, burgandy, and sage. Please note the label, made by SandPat. Mama told me once, "You don't know it but I'm your best friend." I never forgot that.

There are two sets of attachments.

Very pretty. Your Mom will be so happy. What is the finished size of your quilt?

Marvin and I say, "YES!" We have a tiny bedroom for you, but I'll share my beautiful sewing room with you. You are moving in, aren't you?

This isn't just a ploy to get a hand-made quilt, is it? :twisted:

LOL!

Alaskan Lady,
The finished size is the top of a queen bed.

MJ, that is absolutely beautiful. Love the colors, pattern and quilting. Great job. If Mama doesn't like it I will be glad to give you my address.
