Skyline Sensations by Hoffman
 
2 Attachment(s)
Decided to make this quilt for my niece as she is the greatest "giver" ever. She works hard and is so king and helpful to everyone that I decided to do something nice for her. When I saw this pattern, I thought of her immediately because she has traveled the U.S. extensively and has also traveled abroad. This quilt spoke to me as a reminder of all the places she has been. (Photo of pattern)

I cut out and sewed the large blocks and also the small blocks. However, when I put them up on my design wall, I felt it was too dark and dreary for my liking. Just by chance, my local quilt shop had the skyline panels and so I bought one. This is the design that I came up with and I am happy with it. Just have to sandwich it and FMQ it. (Photo of quilt top of my choice.)

What a wonderful gift. I love the colors.

What a great use of the panel! It fits your photo theme and breaks up the smaller squares - making your eye move across the whole top. I'm sure she will love this vibrant quilt arriving out of the blue!

What a marvelous quilt you made this terrific niece who always seems to be giving to others. I found usually young people don't know what the word charity means. I am sure she will enjoy this beautiful quilt.
