Hello everyone, I hope this is the right place to post a picture of what we did with our blocks from this swap. I have a dear friend who lives in Michigan. We went thru grade school and high school together, in each others weddings, etc. We lost track of each other, found each other, lost track again, then re-connected on Facebook 2 years ago. We have not seen each other in 47 years. In June on one of my speaking engagements to Michigan she drove 4 hours to stay the week with me. We had a great time catching up, sharing memories, etc. Now, today, she and her husband will be here in San Antonio. For the past 2 weeks I have been working on this quilt for her. She and I decided in June to make each other something special. She crochets and is bringing me a R,W & B throw she made and I promised her a R,W & B quilt. One of the many things we still have in common is that we are both very patriotic and we love our country. So I told her about our forum and the swaps we do. I told her this quilt I made for her had blocks made from all over the country! One more bit of trivia for this quilt. Her youngest daughter is a manager of a large hotel chain and has given her a bunch of 100% Egyption cotton duvet covers, which she gave to me. I used one of these for the borders, the batting, the backing and the binding for her quilt. It has a certain luscious feel to it that she will love. I hope you all enjoy this quilt's story and the part you all played in it!

Peace and Prayers

What a nice job! I have my top finished by haven't gotten to the quilting part yet -- too many other projects needed to jump ahead. You have a lovely story too. I am sure your friend is going to be so excited once she sees it.
