You made this in one day? Wow! It's beautiful and how thoughtful of you to do this for your SIL from her Mum's fabrics. It will no doubt be very special for her.

Gosh no, I didn't make it in a day! If I could do any decent quilt in a day, everyone in the world would get one. :) I'll have to re-read my post to see if I relayed that. It took me a month since I have a real job and all. All those little corners have to match up perfectly, so I tack sewed the 4-patches until they were aligned just right and then sewed them together. The pattern is very easy, execution of it, not so much. She's getting it tomorrow, my brother hasn't seen a picture of it, because he wanted to be surprised what it looks like, although he knows it's coming.

That came out beautifully! She'll love it. I'm sure you'll make her cry, I sure would
Bless you for doing something so sweet

I can't wait to hear about her response- she'll be surprised, touched, thrilled!

I can't wait either! I sorta hope she does cry... What I would love is a picture of it in it's new home, sprawled on the couch or something. I'll get to visit it (them) when I go to PEI in September.

It will be a family treasure.
