My MIL made all 9 of her grandkids quilt tops several (like 9 or 10) years ago & had them draw numbers for which one they would get. Six years later she had finished 1 (she ties them) & was going in order of age, so seeing as my kids are the youngest I offered to finish theirs for her or they would probably never get them! I wanted to finish at least one before I saw her this summer because she always asks me about them (even though 10 years later she has still finished just one!) I can relate though, the sandwiching is my least favorite part of quilting & must be hers too! So here is our joint effort, her top & my quilting. I had fun practicing my FMQ on it & had never done FMQ on such a big one-it's a queen.

looks great!

Great teamwork

Very nice. Your FMQ is beautiful.

WOW! Great joint effort!
It looks so soft and cuddly!
You and your Mom make a great team!

Looks good -- and having both of you work on the quilts makes them even more special. I wonder if DD and DIL would like to finish some of mine LOL

Nice quilt. Nice solution to a potential problem, or disappointment.

Nice work...maybe you and your mom can work together to finish the others and get them off the bucket list.

Very pretty.

Very nice indeed

OK, how did you do your stars?? I was just sitting here wondering how i could FMQ them continously.

Looks great.

What a great quilt for your kids. I love the colors.

You make an awesome team :D:D:D

Awesome, both of you did a wonderful job. :thumbup:

I would also like to know how you did the stars. It looks like you did one, then curlyqued to the next start. I have 2 to do for my granddaughters and this would be a great pattern to use.

Yes isnthatodd that is how i did them. i started at the top of a star then ended at the top then did a loop de loop to the top of the next star. I free handed them so they are all slightly different & I definately got better as I went along!

I like it!

Gosh you did a great job!

It looks gorgeous

Very, very impressive.

looks great.....both the piecing and the quilting

Love it.

a job well done

very pretty wish I could some of my tops done guess is my least favorite also

Nice!

I love it Blue is for me!!!

You did a wonderful job quilting!

just perfect...loved it

Love it. Have to do one like that myself!!

I am learning that I love the old quilts and patterns more than the modern ones...just me. The simple patterns just show up better to me. They're also easier for me to sew as my sewing isn't up to the quality that some of you have achieved.

Love the pattern and her execution! And your FMQ stars! I know how hard they are when you are just starting! (like me)

Ohhh, that just looks like one of those quilts you want to cuddle up in. Nice job for both of you.

Lovely joint effort :)

Pretty quilt. And your quilting looks great.

It looks terrific, and you did well to jump in and help! We slow ones often bite off more than we can chew!!

I especially like the decorative stitching you did on the blue. I just tried that myself on a Quilt for Kids. It was easy and looks nice. Great job on the stars, too.

Maggiemay,

As all quilters know, you did the HARD part on this quilt. What a fabulous team you and MIL make. Your quilting is lovely -- I think you should volunteer to quilt all of the other tops for those grandchildren. :-) I'm sure MIL was happy that you took over some of those tops, so she no longer feels guilty about not finishing them. You should be VERY pleased with the results. I'm impressed.

You did a good job!

Scrumptious! Love it and the quilting is great!

Ditto:-)
