Your quilt is as lovely as the friendship you enjoy. I wouldn't save it for her birthday, I'd send it right away as an expression of your feelings for her. I think a gift for " no reason" means more!

Wow, I love your center panel. Do you know who puts it out. Your fans are wonderful, too, and you did find the perfect fabric for it. I am very impressed with your quilt. Please show it again after you finish the quilting.

wonderful/beautiful, sure she will love it.

Beautiful.

That is just lovely...

For something as special as a 40th birthday, I think you need to give it to her in person! Love the story and the quilt!

what a beautiful quilt, your friend will cherish it!

Very, very pretty. It is really magical and she will love it !!!!

What a lovely story. We are lucky if we have one friend like that. And your choices are perfect. Congratulations all around.

Beautiful!! Love how you did the fans!!
