Very very striking.

Very pretty..

catladyquilts 02-28-2013 04:08 AM

great job, love the colors

Rumbols 02-28-2013 04:27 AM

Very nice. Love the colors. She will definitely like it. Thanks for posting.

QM 02-28-2013 04:30 AM

Hurray for you.

Wow, just one layer cake? I love this. It's orderly, but perfectly scrappy. I'm adding this to my wish list. I better live to 100 like my g'pa, or I'll never get them all done. (60 years to go!)

mcook03 02-28-2013 05:07 AM

Thanks all!! My DH the engineer loves it but immediatly found the one square where the points don't match EXACTLY! It's such an encouragement to read your comments!!!! Last night created and attached the label with this quote, "Family ties are precious threads
No matter where we roam
They draw us close to those we love
And pull our hearts to home."

I can't wait to mail it on payday! The layer cake is Curio by Moda and the pattern is "Prismatic" from a book called Little Bits Quilting Bee.

nicely done!

WMUTeach 02-28-2013 06:25 AM

That is so thoughtful. Your lay out is so interesting. I like it. I have one of the traditional layouts in progress. But I have plenty of pre-cut scraps to make another your way!

twinkie 02-28-2013 08:20 AM

That is so neat and thoughtful of you to do this. Sounds like she was a "sister-in-love" rather than a sister-in-law.

luciab 02-28-2013 08:36 AM

Love how simple this is, but it makes a powerful statement. Great job.

lpsewing 02-28-2013 09:15 AM

The soft colors used in making the beauitul quilt will be great for cuddling

Minnesewta-sam 02-28-2013 03:29 PM

Your quilt will be loved forever. Thanks for sharing. It's really pretty!

sewdamncute 02-28-2013 06:37 PM

Beautiful, nice job on the qulting too! I'm sure it will be appreciated!

Jackie R 02-28-2013 06:53 PM

That is so very thoughtful of you - it's very pretty and comfty looking.

vintagetouch 02-28-2013 07:19 PM

How thoughtful of you. I am sure she will appreciate your encouragement. I love your quilt by the way:)

DebbE 02-28-2013 07:40 PM

What a wonderful quilt! You are very kind & loving to give this to her. I bet she will be in tears when she receives it, not only due to the beauty of the quilt, but also to know that you care so much that you made it for her.

Chris Anders 02-28-2013 07:41 PM

Lovely and looks so warm . Makes you want to snuggle up in it. Great job.

CherryPie 02-28-2013 07:48 PM

You did an amazing job on the quilt. You have shown your "former" SIL love in making it for her. She's going to have some very difficult times and I'm sure that when she wraps up in it, she'll feel your love. That was special for you to do that for her.

nls 02-28-2013 07:55 PM

A very pretty gift!

maryellen2u 03-01-2013 03:19 AM

What a lovely thoughtful gift. Wish someone had done that for me when I was going through my divorce.

sewnsewer2 03-01-2013 05:03 AM

Oh this is really pretty!

Pieces2 03-01-2013 06:27 AM

Great pattern and fabrics. I'm sure she will appreciate the thought. :)

hudgoddess 03-01-2013 07:11 AM

Love it! Quick, big blocks, no fuss layout. Going through a divorce is ugly business. I know this will feel like a huge hug.

qltgrose 03-01-2013 07:47 AM

LOVE this...what a nice ex sil you are! I have some of that Moda in my stash and I pet it everytime I see it! :)

cat2quilt 03-01-2013 09:37 AM

Wow! The quilt is really nice.

mimiof4 03-01-2013 02:24 PM

I too have one of those sister-in-laws and now I just consider her a sister. She is a really good gal.

Rose_P 03-01-2013 07:16 PM

What a sweet quilt! I'm still friendly with a couple of ex-SIL's, many years after the respective divorces. You are certainly on the right track with this thoughtful gift! Your friendliness will mean a lot to her kids, too - reassurance that the divorce didn't cut them off from the rest of the family.

nstitches4u 03-01-2013 07:17 PM

Very pretty. She will love it.

0tis 03-01-2013 07:39 PM

I love it - those Basic Grey colors are beautiful - I am sure she is going to be thrilled with this quilt.

SandyinZ4 03-01-2013 07:58 PM

That is simply lovely. Hope it will give her a feeling of comfort since we all can see it is filled with love! Great design.

I have a sister-in-law like that! I love her very much and she is a good woman. It is too bad my brother doesn't think so. Neither of them has remarried since the divorce nearly 20 years ago. They both go visit the children--just at separate times.

Nammie to 7 03-01-2013 09:32 PM

Love it! I'm sure she will too. Now if I can just remember the pattern when I want to start a new quilt!
