Christmas gift for my step-daughter
 

Last year at Christmas, I gave my step-daughter some mug rugs that I purchased from a friend. She asked me if I made them. Unfortunately, I had not. Her face looked a little disappointed to me, but she hid it well.

Going back a way in my personal history, I bought a fabric for her quilt about 5 years ago. It was one of those fabrics that you know instantly will be perfect for someone - in this case my precious step-daughter, Laura. So I pulled that out of the stash and went shopping for some fabrics that would work with it and make up into a great quilt.

Then I went to EQ7, scanned in the fabrics and started playing with different blocks and color combinations. What I came up with used a snowball block and what I call a framed square. Looked great on the screen, so then I had to make it.

It went together easily, and I love it. I can't wait for Christmas so that I can give it to her!

Enjoy.

That is perfect. Great combination of the dark color with the pretty floral print.

Pretty quilt!!Laura will love it!

I really like that! Simple but the colors are great. She will love it. It sounds like she appreciates handmade items.

That is so pretty. She will be so surprised, and love it.

Very pretty, not to complicated but very interesting. Love the colors.

Great job! She will treasure it.

Beautiful quilt! Love the floral fabric and the sashing fabric you chose goes perfectly.
