That is one darling quilt! Looks like you did some trapunto on it. Love the way the figures pop.

Antylu, You could include a note on pretty acid free paper, in a sealed envelope, telling the little girl all about the pieces of it, and a nice note from you to be opened on her 18th birthday. Your quilt is a masterpiece, make it an heirloom.

madamekelly, what a great idea! I will have to do that, I made a bag of trims, fabrics, and the threads used in case it needs to be repaired and I could just go ahead and put it in with that. Thank you!!!

I am not quite sure how to use the site, I tried quote and it wouldn't let me type in it; wanted to reply to this very kind poster. Hope she gets the message!

Glad you liked the idea.

This is beautiful, I'm sure the 5 year old will fall in love with it!

unbelievably wonderful.

Nice magical quilt.

Absolutely adorable. You must have lots of patience and I can see you have lots of talent.

I love all the wonderful colors and trapunto work!!!

Ditto to what everyone has said. You are the Magic Master. BrendaK

What everybody else said - it's stunning! What I find unusual and whimsical and especially great is the frilled edging you created around the quilt. All wrapped up perfectly!

That is going to be treasured forever. Lovely work.

WOW! that is so unique and wonderful!

This is a beautiful quilt! And I can't believe you hand quilted it. That little girl is going to be thrilled. Great job!

A fabulous gift.

I'm always amazed at what quilters create. Some little girl will cherish this!
