quick quilt for friend
 
1 Attachment(s)
My friend who owns a local quilt shop asked me last Wednesday if I could do a quilt top for another customer who needed it for a Christmas gift. She had planned on doing it herself but had just finished with chemo treatments and just couldn't pull herself together to do it. I picked up the kit on Wed. evening and finished it on Fri afternoon, between all the other Christmas rush. Now all she has to do is find someone to quilt it before Christmas -- looking for a miracle here.
Hope this posts right.

​What a great top! Kudos to you for stepping up to help!

It came out fantastic!

Very nice - thanks for sharing.

You did good, both in making the top and stepping in. If she can't get it quilted, she can always wrap the top, and gift that with a note that it will be completed after the holiday (I've been known to wrap up completed blocks, not even sewed into a top!)

The name of the pattern is Sidelines by Maple Island Quilts. This is a great pattern and goes together quick. I have a fairy one made up but not quilted.

Great job for getting it done for your friend. The perfect quilt for a boy.

I agree, job well done. Never have seen the pattern before. Perfect maze to go with the fabric.

How very kind of you to do this. It turned out really well.

This is a great little boy quilt. I can just imagine all the hours spent driving cars up and down the "roads"..

goldbeacher 12-19-2013 07:40 AM

Very nice quilt and very generous of you. I am laughing..on my small iPhone screen it looked oriental and I was excited to have found a pattern I liked for my oriental fabric!

Iraxy 12-19-2013 11:22 AM

Very nice, the fabric and pattern fit perfectly. You are a good friend to come to the rescue.

QUILTNMO 12-19-2013 11:51 AM

you did a great job!!!!

MargeD 12-19-2013 02:14 PM

WOW What a fantastic thing you did, stepping in at the last minute like that. It's a great quilt, and I'm sure the recipient will be thrilled. I'd pat you on the back, but that's a little out of the question in cyberspace.
