What a great way to stay busy at your retreat and get a beautiful top done. I love how your prepared in advance and got it done so quickly. It's a big beautiful quilt. Who gets to keep it?

This i just beautiful. As much as I love the old traditional quilts, I think our newer colors and patterns appeal to me much more. Thanks for sharing.

Exceptional job, Mirabelle, for you and your daughter, which makes it a priceless memory for both of you, regardless who displays it on their bed.

Ok posted the reference on PC, so now we know why you have not posted there lately...and I am one of the last to know, I guess, but I am so happy to see another beautiful quilt finished by you. You are so organized and quick on a project....me I am so slow...slow...slow. You are an inspiration to the rest of us. All the words posted here are true, but fall short of describing its true beauty and seeing it in person. Thank you for sharing the latest beauty you and your daughter have made...a delight for the eyes to see. And a real treasure to cherish forever.

The week before we left I spent 3 days cutting the entire quilt and we spent 2 and a half days at retreat piecing the top. Then on Thursday I quilted it at our LQS on her longarm.

The pattern is Butterflies are Free by Pam Bono and is King Size 104 inches square

From start to finish it took 3 weeks

Thank you for looking


OMGosh! It's just wonderful! Ya 2 are a great team! (y)
