So beautiful and she looks so pleased to have it. You are a very thoughtful person.

Gorgeous! And the quilt is beautiful, too!

Beautiful quilt & a very caring, generous gesture on your part to do this for her. I am certain that she will be forever grateful. Bless you for this.

Wonderful quilt and she looks very happy with it.

The quilt if beautiful! Love the fabric choice and pattern. She looks like a lovely lady. Thanks for being such a great friend to her.

Oh Dawn, I don't think Rita would let me borrow the quilt back. LOL

Very nicely done and what a great friend you are.

Thanks for all these sweet words everyone! I'm on cloud nine! As HuntersGrammie said "her smile would be all the appreciation i would need for the gift" It truly was! You all are givers too so you know that.

That so many people sleep on recliners is something I had not realized until recently. Lap quilts are often too small for coverage ansd twin size is too big. A couple of you asked about size:

Rita's finished recliner quilt is 54" x 70". I chose the size based on making it large enough to tuck in around Rita's toes and under her chin and not so big that the weight of it would pull it off her chair. Plus the number of blocks needed for the design also played a factor. I used wool batting which is very light weight yet puffy. I think you would probably always need to base the size on the recipent and the pattern you are using.

such a precious jester.. how special.. and she will love it forever... so sweet.. oh yeah beautiful quilt and quilting

I love your colors and this is absolutely beautiful. Which log cabin pattern did you use?
