Love it, very fun quilt. I really like your quilt holder, hahaha, its always fun to see the feet under the quilt and the tops of heads. But seriously you did an awesome job, your friend will cherish it.

Been trying to figure out what to use that won't wash out (like sharpies do).

I used paper-backed fabric that you can run through an ink-jet printer. I created the sayings using different fonts in Word, inserted the fabric/paper into my printer, and then just printed! Then followed the fabric's directions by drying it for 1 munite, stripping off the paper backing, and rinsing the fabric in cold water for two minutes to set the ink. I bought the fabric/paper at JoAnnes, but I don't remember what it is called. Something like Picture Perfect (?)

Cool! Thank you. I'll look for that product. Sounds like something fun to play with...
