I wanted to share my 3rd quit with you. I made it for my moms 78th birthday. I didn't grow up with quilts, so this is something new for my mom. I hope my mom uses it and doesn't save it like most of her decent stuff.

The quilt top is made from my scraps plus a jelly-roll and a few fat quarters. It was fun to make. It measures 80X64. I really like the neutral gray back with the colorful top.

Beautiful.

Very pretty, your mom will be very happy to get it.

So beautiful and I love how you did the back !!! she is going to cherish this.

How very pretty!

Wow! That is Beautiful!

Very colorful. You did a good job! Mom should love it!

I did one like this one for a granddaughter. But I am saving it to give to her on Christmas. I am doing other quilts for some of the other grandchildren too.
I agree with you it was fun to make it.

Great job!! Very pretty quilt! I hope she uses it too! Nothing feels quite like a quilt! :thumbup: :D

What a beautiful quilt! Your mother will treasure it.

I know what you mean but putting it back and not using it. My Mama would do the same thing. I would ask her, "Are you saving it for a rainy day?" LOL When she passed away, I found sheets, blankets, etc that she had never opened. Just used what she had.

My mother did the same thing. Not me; if I have something new it gets used right away. But I tell my kids not to give me things like that. I request things like plasma TVs, DVD players, big things that all the kids can go together and get me. No more tchochkes....

Beautiful!!! Your Mom will love it!!!

Beautiful!

Oh this is so beautiful!!Great job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow! You did a great job! She is gonna love it!
Makes we want to grab all my scraps and start stitching! Only, I don't know if I could do as nice a job as you did.

Very pretty and I love the back!

Very beautiful and I love all the colors and the pattern.
My kids give me Jo Anns' gift cards, they know those will get used.

Wonderful gift!

Beautiful quilt!

What a lovely way for your Mom to keep you near but to wrap herself in a beautiful quilt made just for her.

Love it. Nice job
She will love it--insist she use it.

Thanks everyone for the nice comments. My mom likes it allot. She said she was going to save it for when she moves. I told her she HAD to use it now. It's on the couch. I'll have to make myself one someday.

You did a beatiful job! DM is going to love her new quilt :D:D:D

Oh my, it's wonderful! Scrappy but still so very well put together/thoughtful in regard to color and mood.

(My mom will be 74 this year...I can only hope to someday give my mom as lovely a quilt as the one you gave yours!) You've inspired me!

Beautiful quilt! I know your Mom will just love it! I sure do. You did a great job on it. Thanks for sharing.

Very pretty!

Great job your mom will love it.

Lovely quilt, I'm sure your Mom will love it. It's also such a great idea to use up your scraps, I will keep it in mind.

I love it..I just love string quilts and the colors are so pretty..great job!

This is a great quilt. I want to make one like it - well, not quite like it - I'll use my own scraps. Love it, love it.

You did a great job. I hope she will use it too. I like the srip down the back. That is a cool idea.

Beautiful quilt. I like the light background also - the fabrics really pop!

Nice and bright!
