Just want to share one I did that's similar. It's a king size and I started hand quilting and said "nuts to that!" and tied it.
|
What a really wonderful thing to do for your mom!
|
Awww Mom is going to be speechless :D:D:D
Love those tiny keychains :D |
A beautiful gift - losing her mother at such an early age would have been hard for her, and to get such a gift from her own daughter . . .
|
I loved the pattern and the colors you chose.
I will look in my books to see what the name of the pattern is. You should be proud of this one. |
Beautiful. She will love her quilt.
|
Make sure to put a label on it too with information and a date on it too. That is very pretty.

It is full of optical illusions - i've had fun staring at it!! I saw my mom today- we had lunch and when i dumped the bag of diamond shapes, I found an 8" churn dash block that she made. I framed it w/ the story on the back. My mom then asked me if there were other pieces.....I lied :roll: :!: :XD: and said no......I wonder if she remembers there really was a bag w/ diamond shapes???? I did show them to her about 9 or 10 yrs ago when my aunt gave me this stuff.... Hope not....but won't she be surprised!! :D And the label will have the story!!! That's the icing on the cake - the story!! |

Several years ago, my aunt gave me a bag w/ all these diamonds and i had intended to complete the tumbling block quilt. Last summer, I found this pattern that i like because it features all the vintage fabrics much better. My plan is to give this to my mom in June when my sister comes in for a visit. Good thing mom doesn't hang on message boards because this will be a total surprise |
Your mom will be thrilled with this gift of love from your heart.
|
