So this is the first customer quilt I've done in a bit. Most of the blocks (parts) were echo quilted AND because I do these things, I put a frog in a canning jar, and the chicken laid eggs, the chicks are all over........ white on white... so my friend will have to hunt for them. LOL
But, I think the whole messy experience shook my confidence because I ripped out and redid part of this King.
But as always when I take the quilt off the frame.... it looks nice.
I know (hope) my friend will be very pleased.

Pretty quilt! I, too, hide things in my quilts. Hope your DH recovers easily. Both DH and I are open heart surgery survivors, a month apart. The recovery period was not easy for me, but I did everything the Dr. told me, and made sure I did the cardiac rehab for 16 weeks as well. We are both as good as new now, do wishing him well in his journey.

Sorry about your flood. Glad your husband is well enough to "support" you will you work. As a single, I'm always begging someone to feed me during a big project. Helps so much!
The sampler quilt is lovely. I love them. Your quilting sounds imaginative!
