Oh MY GOODNESS!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is totally awesome! It even looks like a big hug from all of us!!!!! Halloween seems about the right time to give it to her, by then, she will be neck deep in classes and exams...and will really need the group hug the quilt will provide. You have done a totally fantastic job! Thank you so much for doing this for our Alu.
Oh, and about running in low gear since April...to be expected, be kind to yourself. You still get more done than I do, even on a good day...hmmmm could it be that I spend too much time on this board? I mean I am on vacation for 3 days and here I am visiting when I could be cleaning, ah...quilting, yes! K, will go now, but once again thanks so much for sharing the progress with us.
