i really love your quilt. so bright and cheery.love every thing about it

Very pretty, love both sides of your quilt

I'm not surprised she loved it! I like BOTH sides and especially the asymmetry on the front...I love asymmetry!
And your colors are wonderful. I also love piano keys and hope some day to incorporate them into one of my quilts!
You hit the jackpot with me!

Beautiful on both sides! :)

Your very own design is always better, great quilt!

Both sides look beautiful. Thank you for sharing.

Now that is just beautiful! The appliqued flowers are a wonderful touch. Love it!

wow it turned out great

wow, great idea and versitile too

It's a WOW x2. Do you need another daughter. I'll volunteer:)

Ditto for me!

I've thought of doing two quilts in one, so I am so happy to see and hear about your quilting adventure!

That turned out great! I'm not a bit surprised that she loved it! Beautiful quilt- both sides!

lovce BOTH SIDES of your quilt! nice design

WOW both sides are lovely!

OMG, its adorable - so bright and cheerful!

That is pretty. I love it.

Wow what a beauty.

Wow this is really a great quilt, I love the colors, front and back - super great job!:thumbup::thumbup:

Thank you for all the compliments. I have four birth daughters, but I have 'adopted' a few along the way. This one is for my precious firstrborn who lost her husband to a horrible disease, then the only house they ever lived in plus all the antiques they collected together burned to ground five months later. Hense the yellow. She needs sunshine in her life, though she already has it with her daughters and their families. Why did I obsess with hers so much? Because she can outquilt me anyday - she sews a straight line and uses 1" strips. Not for me, thank you. My other children can't sew. But K has no time for quilting now so this is fine. The other problem? As first born organized child, the colors had to be matchy-matchy. It was to boring (the first section), so I went scrappy with the back and the border. She needs some her mother's disorganization in her life.

I like the lily, but she thought it was funny - another 'organized' difference. I can applique better than she can - or at least my Elna can. That machine loved appliquing when these children were small. I can't outdraw her or daughter #4, but we all have our strengths.

Enough rambling. Thank you.

I love yours a lot

Oooohhhhh - I like both sides! Sunny and cheerful. I'm not surprised that she liked it. he lily has a lot of charm.

It is truly a masterpiece!!

That is beautiful. Both sides are so nice.

I can't decide which side I like the best. They are both beautiful!!! :thumbup:

Looks like a lily to me, lovely colors and quilt....

Awesome job!:thumbup:

oh please tell me where i can get that pattern. that is the coolest quilt i think i have seen in a long time. my email address is [email protected] if you can come up with the pattern or information to get it.

Realy pretty lots of work but well worth it. hope she likes it 2 quilts worth.

Beautiful! Lovely!

i would love the pattern for both sides if i am not being a pain or inconvience. it is just so lovely i would love to try and do it myself
i am really new at all this but if im going to try one this is it.

WOW! She got a twofer for her birthday! Lucky girl. I absolutely love both sides. I like how your progressively developed this masterpiece. Thanks for sharing and proving there are no mistakes, just creative opportunities!

huntersgrammie, my computer is being difficult so I can't copy and paste the links right now. For Sunny Days, go to quilterscache and find the name in the alphabetical list. I cut my little squares 2 1/2 inches, not two inches. I like the small ones better, but as a relatively new quilter, I am not ready for anything smaller than 2 1/2. Put Sunny Lanes in the search box here to see how nice justflyingin's look with the correct size squares. She did a yellow one, then a red and a blue. If you use my size, you'll need to change the other measurements, but I can help you with that.

Quilterscache has the snowball and 9 patch for the front in the same list. Mine are a little bigger. I have an extra block I can measure if you want. When I had six blocks across and didn't like it, I split row #4 and sewed it to the outside edges so the pattern matched. Popped in the appliqued band with a strong red to separate the blocks and the applique, then added the red strip all around and finally the piano keys border which is also in quilterscache. The back couldn't have a border which is a first.

Lining them up was easy as for my last two quilts I have used Sharon Schamber's method with the boards. The back was narrower because of the odd size of the flower strip, so it got a red blender leftover from the lily and a yellow that wasn't the same as the yellow in the quilt to enlarge it on two sides.

Any more questions, you can ask here, pm me or email me. Just remember I have only been trying to quilt for 1 1/2 years, so there's a lot I don't know. Ask me about apparel sewing, then I know something.

No wonder she loved it. That is so pretty and unique. I assume the front or top of the quilt is thesie with the flowers in the panel. But both sides of the quilt are beautiful, and could either be used as the front. I love what you did. That is simply beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

:) It is beautiful I love the colours your daughter will be thrilled. Thanks for posting its so lovely

WOW!! :D Your quilt couldn't have turned out any nicer. It is just beautiful & the color's are so wonderful to look at. You have done a great job making this two sided beauty. I know it will be love & appreciated so much!!
:D :D :D :D

I can't decide which side I like the best, but both sides are very pretty and cheerful, and your daughter is very lucky to have it. Kudos to you for making a double sided quilt, and three cheers for the lily! :thumbup:

Beautiful!!!!

I love how you split up the front! It added such a personal touch and it kept it from being too overwhelming with just the snowballs and 9Ps. Wonderful!

irish-- i LOVE your quilt! you are a naturally gifted quilter! great job!:)
