After almost 2 years of working on it I finally finished the quilt for my MIL. It was supposed to be for her 90th birthday on Jan. 4, 2011 so I'm only almost a year late! By no means is it perfect but a lot of heart and sweat went into to it.
My thanks to everyone who has helped me with this project. I used KarenK's suggestion on how to quilt it and I'm very happy how it turned out.
:-D
