""Layout HELP!"" Quilt finally done!!
 

Yay! And I do love it. Now to get it quilted and come to terms with actually parting with it. lol Just to retell the story, this is for my sons 'friend'. He's in Afghanistan and they'll re-evaluate their relationship when he get's home. They were high school sweethearts first couple years of HS. I loved her then and even though they broke up, she and I remained close, discreetly of course, and I love her as though she were one of my own. Our whole family does. So when he asked for her phone number late last year, I was hesitant to give it to him.... Knowing she still loved him, but not sure where he stood (having just gotten divorced from a cheater).... However, I gave it to him and they reconnected. They were inseparable before he left for Afghanistan. Yay!! I would LOVE for them to end up together. They have ALWAYS been pulled together by their own connection, but the timing was never right. Please say some prayers for them ladies!! :o)

ANYHOW, after all the layout problems I had, here's what I ended up with. I love it.

very nice.

It turned out beautifully and she will love it.

Your quilt is really beautiful, and so is the story. Looks like your kitty is helping to hold it up for picture taking. Good luck and things always turn out for the best.

it's really beautiful. i'm glad you chose that layout.

It's beautiful! She will love it - best of luck to the two of them (and you)!

very nice quilt

Yeah - the quilt is just awesome. She will love it. Praying for them (and you :))

It's beautiful and I'm sure she'll love it.

It is beautiful and I really like the final layout. I wish them the best of luck.

That is beautiful!!! Lucky girl to have someone like you. Good luck to you all.

Ahhh, the cat doesn't want to part with it either, I can see why. :) Suggestion for you, perhaps also make another quilt in the same pattern with man/boy colors and give it to your son for a bit of postive kinetic energy for their relationship. I think "kinetic" is the word I'm looking for anyway, i'm refering to the subliminal draw that objects are said to have.

It turned out awesome. You should be proud.

Gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous!

Pretty! Pretty! Pretty!

So beautiful. She will love it.

I too love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love your colors - that is one gorgeous quilt!

Praying it's right; and who doesn't love a great quilt like that and a love story!

Thanks you guys! I'll be sure to update when there IS one! I LOVE the idea of making him a matching one, but... I'm already working on one he requested. GREAT idea though!!!!!

VERY pretty!
Prayers for your son's safe return.

Beautiful quilt! Wishing them lots of luck!!!

And thank you for the appreciation for Michael. It's been a long hard road, but one more year to go and he's done!!

It is a beautiful quilt!!

That came out very well.

Awww...I'm sure she'll love it, Kim. (You'll make a fabulous mother-in-law.)

A beautiful quilt for a beautiful love story!! Hope the couple will have many happy, happy years together now that they have found one another again!!

absolutely love the final result - hope things work out for your son

You are not alone in loving this quilt. It's beautiful! Good luck with the romance!

Beautiful quilt!! I really like how it turned out and I am sure she will love it too.

It is a real beauty. I will lift up prayers for God's best for both of them!

Its beautiful ! and I hope it works out for the two of them

It is wonderful, as is your story! Hubby and I reconnected 20 years after our first meeting, have been together 20 years, and he still makes my heart go pitter-pat! Good luck to your son and his friend. I'm sure she will love the quilt.

You did an awesome job. Will keep your son in my prayers for his safe return home and a life of health and happiness.

Just lovely, great job and thank you for sharing. Prayer for them
Have a Blessed day
