I bought this pattern at a LQS not too long ago and I can't wait to mke it. I promised myself I would finish all of my UFO's first before I start any new. (lets see how long it will last).

Love this quilt, your DD will be jumping out of her shoes when she receives it !

Your quilt is gorgeous, she is gonna love it!

It looks great, I want to make something along those lines for my grandsons hs grad next year.

The 3D is stunning. Wonderful job.

I love this pattern you used and the colors are great!

Awesome !!! Adore the shadow aspect.......gives it such dimension. Great Job......... great gift!! :thumbup:

Thanks for the pic! I have this pattern but have not made it yet. It's great to see another variation.

Here's the same pattern in "Florida/beach" prints.

Thanks for all the kind words. She's going to be off to North Carolina tomorrow for spring break, so I can get it out again after she leaves. teee heeee.

Thanks for sharing the pattern! It is truly lovely....Please post pictures after this is quilted. Can't wait to see what you do with that.

I can't wait to see what I do with the quilting either. haha. I never know until I get started. I was thinking stippling in the "shadow" and just meandering elsewhere. Anyone with a better suggestion? Don't get to fancy with the suggestions. I'm a beginner-quilter. what thread would you use? Most of the blocks are dark, but I don't want to use dark thread on the light colored blocks?

I would use a white or very light thread in the light areas, and change to a darker thread for the darker blocks. Maybe a bit more work wtih changing threads but I think a much better result.
