I made a green quilt, a very very green quilt, for my best friend who just turned 65. Even though she okayed the fabric and the pattern, I was worried that it was too green. She was on a bike tour in France when I made it, so I didn't send pictures of the progress for her input, like I had planned. (I decided I wanted it finished by her 65th birthday, which was yesterday.)
Bottom line is that she LOVED it, really LOVED it. I am so pleased. (I did not even get a thank you for the last quilt I gave someone....so this was much better. :) )
I'll attach a picture. Warning, it is very green. (She does not like traditional quilts.) I forgot to take a picture after I quilted it, so this is just the quilt top. I stitched in the ditch, so it actually looks the same.
