Absolutely breathtaking!!

Oh, wow, beautiful!

What a thoughtful and wonderful gift. These kind of gifts not only make the receiver elated, it also is such a fantastic feeling for you. You did a beautiful job. Thanks for sharing.

Such an awesome quilt! Thank you very, very much for sharing your design and instructions!

Those quarter square blocks make more things. Just make a few and try different ways of putting them together. Twisted ribbon and pyramid strips are the two I have used. Lay out blocks in a row with all the points facing the same way and you have the pyramids. Take every other block and flip it 180º and you have twisted ribbon.
Also, the large triangle is the background; the other two colors should coordinate.

Sorry, I said that wrong. It is one of the small triangles that is the background color if you want to make twisted ribbon or pyramids. I came back to this, realized my mistake, but it was too late to edit.

Lovely work, and thank you for showing your drawing as well. You are very talented and a generous friend.

A beautiful quilt!
