Red and White Friendship. Nine patch
 
3 Attachment(s)
I made this quilt for a very good friend who got me to make my first quilt and that was 10 years + now. She is the only quilter I know that doesn't have a quilt on her own bed so for her 50th birthday I made her a quilt. We don't live in the same area any more so it was a great surprise for her. A classic number. She loved it and was completely surprised. She also doesn't label her quilts so I made sure I did a nice label and cross stitched it which used to be one of her passions. It is lovely, and also challenging to make a quilt for a fellow quilter but I know it will be loved.

Just beautiful. Your friend will think fondly of you every time she sees that quilt.

Oh WOW!!! Not only is the quilt a lovely color in a vintage pattern, it is quilted beautifully and thoughtful label. Your sentiment is heart warming. Great job all around.

Beautifully done! Ok - I'm a quilter that doesn't have a quilt on my bed either....does that mean you'll make me one just as lovely????

Beautiful quilt, beautiful gesture. Lovely quilting!

Every nice quilt and label.

Lovely quilt, I know your friend will love it. When you are a quilter it is a special blessing to have a quilt made for you.

I absolutely love the simplicity of red and white!

what a thoughtful gesture plus a beautiful quilt.

I absolutely love your quilt and the label you made is great. I also have a bad habit of not making labels for my quilts, but at least I have my own quilts on my bed.

Beautiful quilt -- simple but elegant. Your label is wonderful. I can only imagine how tickled she was to get it!

You will get one one day or you could make your own one too. You are worth it I'm sure.

Thanks. One of these days I'll make one for myself. My dream quilt is a detailed mariner's compass that hasn't totally come into focus yet. Then there are the dogs on the bed - NOT ON MY QUILT!

nannyrick 10-21-2014 02:36 PM

I love it. Great job and my favorite is red.

Lady Jane 10-21-2014 03:18 PM

Beautiful quilt, love the quilting. I am another quilter that doesn't have a quilt on my bed. I really like blue!

What a wonderful and kind gesture to show her how she started the quilting passion for you. The quilt is wonderful and I know will be cherished forever.
