Latest Finish
 

I just finished this quilt for my MIL who just moved from the hospital to the nursing home. The top is a cheater panel because I needed something quick. I used Quilters Dream Request batting and non pill fleece on the back. It is very soft and warm. This is the first time I have used batting and fleece together. I like it. It gives the quilting more definition and it's warmer. I just did simple outline quilting of the blocks.

Nicely done. Love those colours.

good idea. Nice quilt. I love those colors also!

I love those flowers.

Very pretty. I love the sashing on the blocks.

very pretty

A very cheerful quilt and sure to bring lots of compliments!

Beautiful...it will keep her warm. Be sure to put her name on it,

Pretty! Will be cozy for her~

Sunshine and blue skies in a quilt.....so very very pretty and cheerful....and obviously comfy too. So sweet.

very nice quilt!!

I love this quilt. Cheater panels are so much fun to use.

That is a most lovely quilt for your MIL. I know she will appreciate the fleece backing too.

very pretty. I love the colors.

I love it! What is the panel name please?

Blue and yellow are always so pretty together. I'm sure your MIL will love it!!! :)

Beautiful!!

Beautiful! Where did you find this cheater panel? I've not see one like this in all my searching! It's really pretty!

I reinforce that advice. It's too beautiful to get lost.

It is so sweet looking, You may have to sleepover to guard it! Tinker

Thanks for all your nice comments on my quilt. My MIL does love it. She just holds it up to her chest like she treasures it. She wouldn't wear a coat to leave the hospital, but wrapped up in her quilt. The fabric is "Sunshine Bouquet", by Wilmington Prints. I bought it at my LQS from their sale shelf for $4 a yard! There is also an awesome border print that goes with it. I bought some of that fabric too, but it would have made the quilt too large for her to handle. I'm thinking about buying more yardage to make a bed quilt for myself. The border print would make a nice mitered border. I think blue and yellow quilts are my favorites. Thanks again for the comments.

Voice of experience here. I, too, am saying PUT HER NAME ON IT. Things in the nursing homes "get lost" too easily. Also, nursing home laundry is hard on things so, if you live nearby, you may want the staff to know you will launder this quilt when it needs to be done. I swear everything in most of those facilities gets washed on hot with bleach!

Love it. Very nice

Good choice

Great quilt, love the floral fabric. Using fleece on the back is a great idea as many times the nursing home can be cold, and this should keep your MIL warm.

I know she will love it, very pretty.

Better wash it yourself. They'll put it in the hottest water and dryer you can imagine. I know. We've been there.

Very, very nice!!

very pretty!!

Pretty quilt and she will like it because seniors are always cold and this will do the job! Very kind of you!

Glad that you said this. Very good advice. (I was just about to say the very same thing.)

The flowers should be very uplifting for your your MIL

Your MIL will feel very loved when wrapped I that pretty quilt.

I hope she settles Into her new home well.

Nicely done...
