Gorgeous!! The back makes a stunning whole cloth look quilt as well. You both did a great job, I can see not wanting to send it home. I am sure your aunt will be thrilled with the result.

This is so astoundingly beautiful. Thank you for going into such detail about the color and quilting pattern. This is truly a superb example of an ‘old’ pattern. Appreciate that you shared it with us.

Stunning! Joy that is so beautiful! What a treasure! I am not sure I would want to call either .....except when she sees it it will have made all of your work worth it! Blessings!

I am very impressed. I love the mirror images. My mother made a double wedding ring and I need to finish it. You have inspired me. She also had breast cancer.

quilttiludrop 04-29-2011 12:10 PM

Congratulations on your fabulous quilting! You quilted it very similar to the one I posted a few weeks ago (DWR - WIP). The quilt is a treasure!

Oh this is just beautiful and wonderful work I think. I have been planning a king size wedding ring and this makes me drool. I hope your aunt is feeling a lot better. What a wonderful way to keep your mind off the chemo. Bless her heart and you for your gorgeous work. I'm just so in awe of this quilt. I love it. Sue

I think that is one of the prettiest GFG quilts I have ever seen.

clhornak 04-29-2011 02:15 PM

Such a gorgeous quilt and the quilting is great too. Hope your aunt continues with her recovery and quilting!

RobertaMarie 04-29-2011 02:48 PM

Superbly beautiful. I pray your aunt comes out as nicely as this quilt did. She did a magnificent job and the quilting is just perfect. It could be reversible. Good energy in this one that should be healing for whoever sleeps under it.

That is an amazing quilt. The piecing and quilting are absolutely gorgeous.

BevF 04-29-2011 04:37 PM

Wow! Absolutely beautiful! I guess her doing this while undergoing chemo kept her mind busy. As some have found out, waiting might be too late. Why not take it up to her soon so she can enjoy it? Lovely quilting!

JCquilts 04-29-2011 04:41 PM

This is a wonderful quilt. The planning of the pieces to the quilting...all are top notch.

You are to be commended.

That is absolutely EXQUISITE. What a beautiful job of piecing. You LA quilting stands alone - I love the way it turned out on the back of the quilt. Both you and your Aunt did a magnificient job on this beautiful quilt. Please be sure to enter it in some Show. Hope she is feeling better. Thanks for showing us. I love it.

They are joined by pink and white blocks (fitting colors for a breast cancer survivor). I stitched in the ditch in each of those tiny wedges and around each ring; feathers in the all the white background fabric and the pink/white blocks. I layered white poly batting (MicroSafe from Joann's - the last of that bolt) on top of 100% Legacy cotton to give it definition and loft. I used almost a whole cone of FilTec white thread on it. I really don't want to call her to come and get it. Maybe I'll wait a month or two! :-)


WOW, it's absolutely beautiful
