GO IU! My latest.
 

My aunt who lives in Kentucky is a HUGE IU fan! She has custom plates on her car with IU on them and hangs an IU flag on her front porch in the heart of KU territory. She wanted a new quilt for her bed and requested an IU one of course. This is what I came up with. It and the shams are reversible just incase she wants to change things up a bit.

My husband and I are going down there this week to give it her. I can't wait.

Thank you for stopping for a view and comment.

beautiful, love the quilting

Out of this world. She will go crazy over this quilt. BrendaK

Beautiful !! And what a brave woman to be such an IU fan in Wildcat Country!!!

nicely done

Wow! That is beautiful. How could she not love it.

What a beautiful gift. You can tell you really put a lot of effort into your design and to make it reversible is just pure genius. You are a great niece. Two of my niece's didn't even send acknowledgements when I sent their first born daughters hand smocked dresses. Needless to say, I quit sending. Love it, even if I'm not an IU fan.

Goiu!
 

I am so glad I saw your gift when I did so I could join in with the compliments. This is so pretty, versatile, and you are so talented.:thumbup: Did you design it or use a pattern? Whichever, wonderful. Wish I could be your neice. :hunf: Keep up the good work!!

What a great quilt!! Go IU!!!

Wow, she is one luck lady. You did a fantastic job. Thanks for posting.

Oh, wow, gorgeous and reversible! You will be her favorite niece forever!!!

Beautiful quilt!

Wow, wow and wow! It is a show stopper. Your quilting is outstanding. Great job.

Beautiful, great idea for the shams.

What an awesome quilt!! Too bad it's IU and not Purdue, though:D

You did an awesome job!

Wonderful quilt

Outstanding!!! IU doesn't print fabric like a lot of other schools do and I wanted to see what you had done. It is GREAT. How talented you are.

Wow, excellent way to make a completely reversible set.

I am sure she will love it!

It was my design but reminds me a something you might see on a cheerleaders uniform. It didn't look that way in the design process but when I finished the top, that is what I saw. LOL!

I don't if I could have done it if the request were for 'black and gold'. LOL

Thank you.

Actually a preprinted fabric was something she didn't want me to use but you are right, you can't find it out there.

My aunt is originally from the Jeffersonville (Clarksville) area. She has lived in Louisville most of her adult life though so she has been putting up with being teased for a long time.

Nothing left to say that hasn't already been said, Love that you made reversible, and both sides are exquized' Thanks for sharing your story...

Thank you. I am sorry to hear that you didn't get acknowledgements back on your gifts. I have had that happen a few times too, very heartbreaking. My mom told me the other day, the quilt she made her sister-in-law, is in a closet because her SIL doesn't want it to get ruined. It nearly broke my moms heart when she found out because she knows her SIL loves, she is always telling her shows it off to friends when they come over but that is the only time it sees day light.

This is so beautiful, you did a fantastic job and the reversible idea is great.

You did a fantastic job! She will be thrilled - are we taking bets on which side would be up first!

The back side will probably never see the light of day unless she is showing it off. LOL

Well done! You could make a fortune selling those around here! I made a Colts quilt, super simple, $300, took about a week start to finish.

Wow! That is impressive. Your aunt will be thrilled with it.

What a fantastic job you did on this, you should feel so proud of this Beauty!!!

That is a truly spectacular quilt.....i would be shocked if she didn't cry buckets when she sees it.

Beautiful, clever and very eye catching. I love the waffle quilting design (my term for your quilting) on the IU side.

Wow! Really really nice! Your aunt is going to be thrilled!

I love it and I don't even know what IU is...its beautiful.

Super quilt! You did an amazing job on it!!

You did an amazing job on your quilt. Your aunt is one lucky lady! I really didn't expect it to be that beautiful and to have it reversible - what an accomplishment!
