This started as a multi-class project @ the Viking Dealer in Sterling VA back in 2007. I don't do wall hangings, and wanted a quilt for my mother (queen size bed), so I got more coordinating fabric and started just adding borders until I got it big enough. Finally had it quilted this fall, and gave it to her @ Christmas. She really loves it!

I like it too! Looks great :)

That's beautiful, AND so is the one in your avatar!!

Very pretty!

Beautiful! Can you give us a close up of the center?

Very nice quilt and very clever way to transorm a wall hanging into a bed quilt. I'm going to keep this idea in mind for myself. It's been bookmarked.

Very pretty :thumbup: I re ally like your colour choices :-P

gorgeous

That is beautiful. I love the colors. Great job.

Nice!

I bet your mother was thrilled with the quilt. I know I would be. Beautiful!!

I can see why she loved it ... it is beautiful. what a great idea!

very pretty, i like the colors and love the look of all the borders.

Very pretty! I'd love to see a closer up view of the middle!

Great job!! and i like your colors

Very nice. :thumbup:

Very pretty. I'm sure she loved it!

Wonderful job!! I also do not really do wall hangings as I prefer quilts. I have seen a few that loved though, and now I can buy them and do what you did!! :D It turned out beautifully. Thank you so much for sharing and inspiring!!

I will have to see if I have some pictures that contain a closeup of the center.........if I can find any that were taken, I will upload...Mother's bed sits up so high that she has to use a small step to get up into it. :-)

THANKS - the AVATAR is one of Blanche Young's designs from Traditions with a Twist, called Jamaica. Thought I would never get that pieced correctly.......colors on the picture do not really do it justice.....glad you like it...

Oh my.........what a lucky mother. I love the colors you chose.

OK - here you go.......found a few pics taken when I was putting this quilt together.

Wow! Very pretty! And so detailed!

Oooooh, that is so pretty!! What a great job! Thank you so much for posting the center pix! I especially like the shirred border, and the embroidery is beautiful!!! :P :P
