I think quilts should be happy colors and this one certainly is. In the dreary winter here in Oregon, I put out my brightest quilts. I just love how they make the room cozy and warm and bright.
I did a sneaky thing. I posted the quilt on Facebook, and the friend I made it for (a surprise gift) said she loved it. What a relief! She will be really surprised to get it in the mail next week.
hahaha very clever! Such a lovely gift for your friend.
