Beautiful! She is going to LOVE it! :)

Now that is exquisite! Your workmanship is awesome!

Wow!!! That's a lot of love in this quilt. I am sure she will treasure it. Great work...you are skilled!!

my mil used to use this pattern! i like the solid strips between the blocks.

wow what a beautiful quilt.....

Beautiful quilt! I really need to try Quilting as you go. I have purchased books and looked tutes online but still haven't tried it. I really love the border squares on the front! very unique! Your DIL is very lucky! The parasol ladies are so pretty :)

Very nicely done. I love the backing.

Beautiful, I bet that took a while to make. My daughters and grand daughters would love it.

How sweet is that!! I love it.

Really pretty. Good job.

First -- thanks to everyone for your nice comments. I never feel that my work quite measures up so it feels good to see the compliments.

Wendiq -- I did use different whites. Although the photo doesn't show it, each block background was a 9-patch of various white-on-whites. When the blocks with the parasol ladies were finished, I needed something for border to bring it up to size. I wanted to bring some curved movement. I was going to do drunkard's path blocks and then applique the colored band along the curve, but I couldn't easily figure out the math and besides didn't want the waste. So I stacked the white-on-white in 5's, cut the curved line freehand purposefully not making them identical. I knew I wouldn't be successful if I tried so why not just do it on purpose. Shuffled the white-on-white pieces to mix them up. Then I cut 3/4" bias strips from the colors I used with the ladies and pieced them between the two drunkard's path pieces.

I am pleased with the appearance of the quilt and if this isn't what my DIL had in mind, I will be glad to bring it back home.

Jenniky is doing a great job of showing various QAYG methods.

That is soooo beautiful!!! Great job. Thanks for sharing.

I love your quilt, The front is beautiful but so is the back. Had you planned on it being reversible.

Beautiful! I love all the Lady quilts!!

That is really quite, quite pretty!

GORGEOUS quilt. I am jealous !!

Love your quilt and it's innovative borders

Very pretty, you did an nice job on it!

I like it...the backing is interesting. I'll have to remember this one :) I want to step out of my comfort zone with backing and I think this may help :) Thank you. DIL is very lucky to have you.

Very pretty!

what a wonderful MIL you are. she puts in her order, and you fill it. my MIL used to make things for me also. you are training a future wonderful MIL.

So adorable!! Love the backing too.

very nice, my mom made one very simular to that, turned out beautiful.

I almost always make my quilts reversible. Partly because the backing fabric is not wide enough. I like it that you get 2 for 1.

Awesome well done.

Awesome well done.

It's gorgeous. I'm sure she'll love it.

Very nice and I love the borders and the back is just as pretty as the front.

Your ladies are very elegant. The border on the backing is beautiful too. DIL is a lucky woman.

Very pretty! You've done a great job!!
