"Cherry Bomb" scrappy D9P for a friend
 

My friend moved into the area last April. She lives in a very old drafty 5th wheel. She has it fixed up really cute and has decorated with antiques. I knew she used red and would love this 1940's reproduction print so I made her a D9P. The only way I describe this lap quilt is "happy"! It looks so good in her place and brings a bit of warmth on these chilly evenings we've been having already. She loves it! It's pictured on my husband's giant recliner but she has 2 light green recliners in her place so it matches very well. I used the pieces along the sides of the backing because the backing was a coordinating floral stripe and I've never been able to get a stripe to be perfectly straight on the back. I thought by adding the squares to the edge, the crooked stripe might not show as bad. I'm please with the whole "happy" quilt.

nicely done

Looking good!

Beautiful quilt

I am sure she will love it ! Very pretty ! and how thoughtful of you to make it for her.

That's a very "happy" quilt. I love the idea of putting the squares along the sides on the back. It works great camouflage any wonkiness with the stripes. I've had that problem also.

Very happy indeed! You are very thoughtful and a great friend.

It does look like a very happy quilt, I'm sure she will appreciate it when the weather really gets cold.
