This is for my best friend as a birthday/Christmas present. I actually mucked up the pattern a little, but I decided it wasnt worth tearing out all the stitches once I discovered the problem.

This was the first quilt I took to a LAQ and I was very pleased with her work. She did exactly what I wanted in the time frame she quoted me. My only issue is that the quilt smells like her/her house - a little overy perfumed. But, a good washing will take care of that.

Anyway, enjoy!

Very nice.... What is the name of your pattern? Quillting looks neat - can't tell, is there a theme to the quilting?

Your quilt is beautiful. I love the colors and the pattern. I am sure she will be very pleased to receive your quilt. I know that I sure would.

The pattern is called Venetian Dreams from a Fons & Porter magazine earlier in the year.

The quilting is kind of hard to see but it's a large paisley pattern, similar to what's on the lighter orange fabric (although it's hard to tell).
