Son's Girlfriend gift
 
2 Attachment(s)
I was stuck for ideas for a gift for my son's girlfriend. It's pretty clear this is serious so I wanted something nice. Our Guild held a 'garage sale' at the last meeting and I found a little kit, complete, for a generous sized throw. She's not a 'girly girl' which suites my son ( and me ) just fine. Putting aside the fact her mother is also a quilter, (we have yet to meet :eek:) I made it anyways.
Trying something different, I used a light polar fleece as batting/backing. Quilted like butter.

Very pretty and love the pattern. Your Son's girlfriend will love it.

​Cute quilt and the fleece back is great for cuddling under!

Oh that is sure to be a big hit with her. It's so pretty & I love the colors. You can't go wrong with the light polar fleece for perfect cuddling.

Looks like a winner!

Love those fabrics - they remind me of the "Alias Grace" miniseries.

It would be a funny coincidence if your son's girlfriend's mum were also lurking on this forum, perhaps seeing this quilt, and if she then saw it on her daughter's bed :)

I am sure she will love it. She will appreciate the time and love that has gone into it. Your color selection and the fleece back are beautiful. Nice quilt

Looks inviting on a cold winter's night...or day whichever it may be.

That's so nice! How could she not love it?

That is a very nice throw. I agree that she will love it.

What a pretty quilt. The polar fleece on the back will make it so snuggly. I am sure she will love it.

I like your color and placement of leaves. I have yet to do the maple leaf pattern quilt. On my bucket list though. Our town motto or what ever is " City of Maples"..

Very nice. I am sure she will love it especially she will know the work that goes into a quilt that you think a lot of her.
