The fastest I ever made a quilt!!!
 

My niece has to have open heart surgery Feb.3 so I immediately found out what colors she wanted and put my BH mystery aside to whip this up.
While the quilting isn't perfect, I'm pleased with it. I'm improving! She got it yesterday (2 days in the mail wow!) and is thrilled.
Nobody in my family quilts so they think I'm a magician :D.
Thanks for looking at Carrie's quilt.

Very sweet. Yes, you are fast!

Good for you! ( and her too!) I hope the surgery goes as well too. Is this the Disappearing Nine Patch? Your quilting looks good. I like the look. You must have washed it or they did, so the quilting looks great. What batting do you use, if you don’t mind me asking?

Susie, what a great job. What pattern is that. Is that you husband hubby holding the quilt? You are super duper! You must have sewed all night!

Sew very pretty, no wonder she loved it! Keeping her in my prayers!

What a thoughtful gift Susie…I’’m sure it will provide her comfort and warmth during her recovery. Great work!

Wow, you are fast, what a kind thing to do for her. She will love wrapping up in it while recovering. I will keep her in my prayers.

Lovely quilt. I'm sure she will take comfort in it over the next month as she heals. Must say that I love your original hardwood flooring in the kitchen. You don't see it very often these days.

Absolutely gorgeous!

a very pretty fast quilt!

That is awesome, she will be delighted!

You did a great job! She will love it.

Yes, it's a Disappearing 9 patch. I used Warm and Natural and washed it before sending (cat hairs I'm sure!)
Thanks for the nice comments! And yes, that's Paul!!!

Wow
 

What a lovely quilt to wrap your niece in love. Beautiful work and a nice cooperative proud hubby too.

I echo everyone's comments: beautiful and generous gesture to make your niece comfortable and loved during her recovery. Well wishes and prayers coming her way.

That's so pretty, Susie! I love your colors. I'm sure she'll treasure it.

Beautiful! FMQ looks really nice! Your niece will love it. Pray surgery goes well.

Great colors! She will enjoy snuggling in it while recovering. So sweet of you.

Really nice quilt, Susie, and a wonderful gift for Carrie to wrap up in while healing.

Your quilt and quilting is beautiful.

Paul looks great after all he went through not long ago. I am sure your care helped a lot.

That had to be record time in making that lovely quilt.

I can see why she is thrilled with that quilt....it's beautiful. I love any "disappearing" blocks. For some reason they just intrigue me.
Paul is sure a handsome man. I'd say he's a keeper on looks alone! :)
I'll be praying for your niece as she goes through this surgery tomorrow.

Wonderful quilt

That looks so pretty and cuddlesome!

Just beautiful and it looks so comforting made with love. Great job 👏

That's a lovely quilt, SusieQOH! I'll be thinking of you and your niece as she goes through surgery and hoping she has a speedy recovery!

Lovely quilt and the splash of orange really pops.

Disappearing nine patch. Very pretty!

Nice quilt and for a great cause. One of the reasons I enjoy quilting is being able to gift quilts - gifts that are appreciated and show you that wish them well.

It would have taken me forever just to decide on colors and placement! Great job. i am planning on using this pattern when teaching new quiltmakers in a few months. I will be using your color selections as a sample if you don't mind.

It looks like double slice layer cake?

I hope Carrie is recovering nicely and surgery was a success. No doubt her new quilt with the soft crinkles has comforted her like a warm hug. You have a great eye for color and especially like the pop of orange. 9-patch is always a fav. You were fast in making this quilt, but I guarantee your niece will love this quilt for a long time into the future. Well done!

Lol…I love it! Your are a magician….that’s a lot of piecing, girl. Prayers for your niece, Susie…

I hope the surgery went well. I am sure the bright colors and your love will help the healing process.

Thanks, everyone.
She had a really strange heart problem- I'm a cardiac nurse and never heard of it. She came through just fine and is home. My brother (her Dad) is with her. I appreciate the prayers and good wishes. She's such a wonderful member of our family!

pennyhal- It's a disappearing nine patch. Easy!

That is a very thoughtful gift. Keeping her in my prayers for a complete recovery.

colors and pattern are beautiful!!

Fantastic
 

Don't be too much of a magician. They will expect you to snap your finger and make every quilt quickly. It is really a great quilt. Love your fabrics.
