Thanks for the encouragement. Quilt top is finished. Will start the quilting this weekend. Here is a link to the pic.

That's really beautiful... and your blues are absolutely yummy.

Thanks everyone. I am now attempting to quilt it with my Bernina 830 on a frame. The machine is doing beautifully, me...well let's just say it's a learning experience.

IT'S BEAUTIFUL... JUST "git 'er done"!

Sooooo it's September 8 and inquiring minds want to know - is it finished???? We want to see it! She will be absolutely thrilled that you made such a lovely quilt for her!

Yep! The quilt is done, a label is on, it is washed and ready to be wrapped. Now just to get the bags and car packed for the 5-6 hour drive to Ocean City, MD. This area has been hit by some devastating flooding, so finding roads that are safe to drive and open, may be a challenge, but I think we can manage it. (The main interstate 80 was closed right where I needed to go for work, so have been working from home, but with no phone other than cell it isn't easy as don't get much reception...sometimes feel like I have to stand on my head in just the proper place to get it! LOL No landline, no internet until midnight Monday night. I am currently at a McDonalds to get my WiFi fix! Will take a pic tonight at the hotel before I wrap it. Too wet to take pic outside and too big to spread out anywhere in the house right now.

Please pray for the folks of north central and central PA as they clean up from this mess. We are lucky, live on a mountain, but others lost everything.

Post pics tonight, have a good day.

Have a safe trip. Can't wait for you to post her reaction when she unwraps it!! Take care.
