Favorite Things
 

Finished this comfort quilt for my niece in Texas. My first time to try the shadow box pattern and once I got past the fibro malfunctions it went well. LOL.

I used things she likes for the blocks, so it's a bit of I Spy too. The background is pink with rose buds on it, as that is another of her favorites. Pink and black and red and black are combinations she likes so had to get those in there too.

I chose the song from Sound Of Music and wrote on the label, "When you are feeling sad, simply wrap yourself in your favorite things and then you won't feel so bad."..

Many thanks to board members who shared fabrics with me to make this quilt happen.

it turned out great good job!!!!

This quilt brought a smile to my face and I am sure it brings one to hers every time she sees it too.

nicely done

Your niece will never be sad when wrapped in that lovely quilt.

Your niece will love this pretty quilt.

What a great quilt, you niece will love it.

Nicely done. Love it.

Your quilt is so pretty. I am sure your niece will love it. I really have to try that pattern. It makes a great I Spy quilt.

Oh that is so pretty Linda!! I love your borders too, it really finishes it!:o

I too just finished making that block/pattern. Never thought of making it an "I spy" quilt. Great idea.
Bet your quilt will be loved and used for a long time.

Really nice quilt I really like this pattern, have several people who want one.

I love what you did with this pattern...right down to what you wrote on the label.Your niece will always feel the comfort and love you put into it. Brilliant idea on usage of this pattern that I love anyway.Thanks for sharing.

Super. BrendaK

You did a great job! I sure can relate to the fibro issues lol

You did a great job putting it together! Bet she loves it!

Thank you all for such kind words. I had to laugh about the borders. They are made from the "fibro effect" pieces where I cut the first (AND SECOND) batch of the side shadow bars 1/2" too short!

Saw they were half inch too short, thought, dang I must have cut them at 4" instead of 4.5". So went right to cutting a new batch at 4.5". Again too short!!! LOL, what was wrong is that the pink square started at 2" not 2.5", so that's where my half inch was missing. Arghhhhhhhhhhh, so lots of nice pink and black strips to use up.

The shadow pattern always makes me smile. I am going to have to do one of these. Sometime in the future but the list is so long. You did a great job.

Great idea for an "adult I spy". Love it.

You did a fabulous job on the quilt and your niece will love it.

Pretty quilt! Fun variety of squares. Will be great for her to cuddle up with~

Love your quilt. You did a terrific job!

She's going to be thrilled with her quilt & it'll mean so much to her. You're a super aunt!
