Beautiful quilt and label! I too am sorry for your loss, but bet your hubby is smiling down on you and proud you got the quilt done! Some women that I have had in therapy find it helps to talk to the missing spouse .... you could do this like you used to when you are designing and quilting!

Sorry for your loss
This has been a difficult quilt for me to finish. It's the last quilt my husband saw me working on before he passed away on June 5th. I had all the blocks done and on my design wall. He loved the whole process of quilting and his participation was always being so joyful about the colors, patterns and just how the blocks went together to create the quilts. I really miss him. So it was hard for me to finish this quilt but I knew I had to as it is for my great niece's (Shelby) wedding this August. Shelby has selected purple and grays for their bedroom. The fabric is one of Downton Abbey collections and I just love the colors and patterns. I hope Shelby & her soon to be husband, Toby, love it as much as my late husband did. I only wish he could have seen it finished.

I am so sorry for your terrible loss but you have made such an amazing tribute to your late husband by finishing this absolutely beautiful quilt for your niece. I am sure they are going to cherish it for many years to come.

First, let me tell you how sorry I am for your loss. Your quilt is really beautiful, especially with the Downton Abbey fabrics. My DS and DDIL watch that show and have asked me to make them a quilt for their new king-size bed, so I was considering using some of that fabric in the quilt. After seeing your beautiful quilt made with those fabrics, although I was considering making a Dresden Plate quilt, I know that I'll have to use some of those fabrics in their quilt.
