Very beautiful quilt for your mom. Trust me, she will cherish it forever! I just made mine one and she loves it so much. It will also make you feel good to know it is so appreciated. Nothing like moms!

I loved strip piecing this quilt, it went together fast..can't say the same about quilting it though, although I did enjoy using the variegated thread for quilting for the first time. It is a surprise, she has no clue that I am making a quilt for her, and she is coming over this year for Christmas, I can't wait for her to get it.

Thanks for looking all, and Happy Holidays to you and yours!

Thank you. How funny, this fabric(the green) was one of the first fabrics I bought for my stash when I started quilting, and so was the rust one in the quilt.
