This quilt was #9th quilt for this year. MIL is 86 and a really loved the yhe quilt I gave her a couple of years ago so I thought I would give her another. She use to quilt but, didn't like the mess it creaated so she gave it up. She really appreciates the time and work that goes into them. Today at a Family gathering I gave it to her, she was going home and putting it on her bed.

It's lovely! It is so great to have someone appreciate all the work that went into something, even though you didn't do it for praise. I'm sure it will keep her warm this winter.

It's nice to give a quilt to someone who actually realizes how much work goes into it. It is lovely and I'm sure she will think of you as she enjoys using it!

That is a lovely quilt. I really like the way you did the border, the piano key is a lovely accent. Great job!!

I love the colours too! I like yellow a lot but I find it hard to build it into quilts that I make. Lime green is a favourite too. Citrus I suppose. She will enjoy using your quilt, sleeping under sunshine!

Beautiful job
Have a Blessed day

I gave her her 1st quilt a couple of years ago and then she said it was the most beautiful quilt she had ever seen, she said the same thing about this one. She has been my MIL for 50 yr.s the 30th of Dec.

A quilt that is gifted to someone that appreciates the time and effort that goes into the making is a gift that is worth giving. She will enjoy it. Thanks for sharing.
