I've had a great friend for almost 10 years- Dani. I don't think in all those years I ever remembered her birthday. OF COURSE she's a great friend and says she doesn't care... but I do!

So this year, I was actually on top of it, and started and.... >drum roll< finished... yes, finished, a quilt in time to send to Seattle for her birthday on June 1st! Can you even believe it?! I enclosed a card that only read, "I REMEMBERED!!!"

The fabric was actually for another quilt that I decided against, then when I thought about making one for her, I realized how perfectly it fit her personality and taste.

When she got it, she texted me and gushed about how perfect it was for her, and how did I know she liked those colors so much, and her grandma quilts and this was 'BY FAR' the prettiest quilt she'd ever seen... Of course it fed my already giant ego :lol: (and sorry, grandma!) but all the same... I'm glad to know she loves it!

It was a cinch to piece the top, I did easy stitch-in-the-ditching, I used a garage sale find cheater fabric for the border, and I think it turned out nicely! Most of all I'm happy that she'll know that at least ONCE in our friendship, I remembered her birthday. Teehee!

What soothing colors, I'm glad your friend liked it.

The colors work really well together. Of course she loved it!

My best friend is in Seattle too. I hope to have her quilt finished in the next week or so ;-)

Very pretty!

Thank you! ...now to get going to the next project :lol: !

Very nice

Oh my that is pretty. What a great birthday gift. I can see why she loves it. Great job. Beautiful colors. Thanks for sharing.

I love the way you put this quilt together. I'm lovin the colors. You should be proud of this quilt.

Very pretty, what a nice birthday gift for your friend.

I love it!!! You sure are a good friend :D

I am absolutly in LOVE with these colors together!! I would have never thought of that color combination, it is stunning!!! Can I have one??

That really is very pretty. I have somewhat the same situation with a friend of mine. I also plan to have a quilt finished for her by her birthday in November! Wish me luck that I don't forget again!!I've bought an oriental panel as the focus. I just have to figure out how to incorporate it into a quilt. :lol:

Great job and fabrics! I think this makes up for all the times you 'forgot'.

Love that money fabric too! :thumbup:

Oh wow, lovely colour combination.

It's beautiful. I love the fabrics you chose.

Gorgeous! Love the calming colors. Looks like a great snuggle quilt!

Very nice Birthday present!!!!!!!!!

Great colors that work beautifully with your quilt design. I totally understand why she loves it. I would too.

Haha! The money fabric... I didn't like it- still don't really, but the color was absolutely perfect in there, so I had to include it. It makes me giggle!
I told her that I hope snuggling under money will bring her more?! :lol:
