Thanks! This is only the 2nd large quilt I've ever made. I've spent years watching my grandma, mom and aunts, tho!

I made them a red and green quilt when they got married 3 years ago.......
when I asked what her favorite colors were later, she told me blue and yellow........so......now she gets her blue and yellow quilt!
It's my own pattern, the center of each modified 9 patch is a 5.5" square of Nature's chorus. : )
the large squares in the 4 patches are 5.5" squares of April Cornell's Sunshine line........blue background in the blue block and yellow background in the yellow ones. the goal was to make the 4 patches as scrappy as possible....... : )
It took about 4 days to cut it all out and put the top together. and about 4 Sat. to hand quilt it--with help! : ) Thanks mom and friends! the hand quilting is very simple--just quilted diagonally thru three places on each block.
