It is beautiful and I loved reading the story behind it. But if I were you, as soon as you get it finished I would give to her. Why wait? Life is too short.

Nothing is quite as special as a personalized gift, and this quilt has it all. What a wonderful friend you are!

What a darling quilt. I am sure your friend will fall in love with it when she sees it. Just keep the secret to yourself. I made a Chevron quilt in her favorite color turquoise and white for a dear friend last Christmas, that I taught school with for several years. We haven't seen each other in a year or so, but we email regularly and chat on the phone. I had a horrible time trying to remember each time I talked to her when I was making it, not to let the cat out of the bag. She knew I was quilting and would want to know what quilt I was working on. She has had some health issues for a while now and has to rest a lot and often when we talk, she says she is curled up under her Gerbie quilt as she calls it.
