My third quilt for a dear friend
 
3 Attachment(s)
Hi everyone, well I finally finished this third quilt for my dear friend in Kansas. Its a lap quilt really but my first serious attempt with a FMQ pattern. I really loved putting the colours together and thought she would like this colour scheme- she just celebrated her 70'th birthday recently,an ex vet and she has been a great friend to me over the years. What do you folks think? I loved the Batiks, I am just hoping its not too garish.

Garish????? How about gorgeous! Great job!

Garish? Are you kidding? Garish is what makes us oldies live and breath.ha.

It's perfect and beautiful.

Very pretty without being garish. She should love it! I do!

irishphoenix 12-02-2011 07:42 AM

great- I feel better now- she loves white and her bedroom is a duck egg blue so I was trying to find a colour scheme she would like and funky too- I know I feel young inside- its just my outside thats wrinkly and doesnt work at times!

grammy Dwynn 12-02-2011 07:45 AM

She will love it!

deanneellen 12-02-2011 07:50 AM

It's beautiful. I love the colors you chose.

If the photo colors are fairly true, your quilt is far from garish and sounds like it will be a perfect fit with her color scheme. Very nice quilt.

Know what you mean about the wrinkly outside. But oh heck, so what! It's the inside that's important.

That is so true- I am glad you didnt think the colours were too bright, i wanted it to be subtle but with colour too. I actually was working on another quilt at the same time, a pinwheel pattern-my first, but it has more strong colours on it and a very bright border so i wasnt sure about that one, had been to a show in Dublin and found these pretty florals so used those on some of the flying geese instead. Thanks everyone
