Great color arrangements - beautiful quilt. Did you get the message from your BFF that it's OK with her if you sent it along to me? I think it's some type of outreach project she's working on...quilts for those whose friends don't quilt.
The quilt really looks fantastic, and you have every right to be proud. What a great gift to your friend -- I'm sure she'll treasure it (even if she did buy the fabric). And thanks for taking the fear out of Y seams -- I feel a lot more confident about tackling them now.
