This quilt is an Eleanor Burns pattern and was all hand appliquéd and quilted. It will be a gift to my daughter in time, but first I will need to make a quilt for each of her three brothers. It may be a while before she gets it. :)

Stunning! Terrific job.. Im sure your daughter will treasure this forever (dont forget the tag w/date and your name :) )

Thank you all for the wonderful complements!! Suebee, I have attached photos of the labels that I made for this quilt and as you can see I changed the name. Thanks again!!

Beautiful! But I don't see why daughter has to wait for three brothers! (I'm speaking as a daughter and the youngest child, whose siblings all say was spoiled ;-) )
