I have to share what happened. I put it on FB because I asked my DH if the husband had FB. My DH said "No". Well, the wife saw it....
and this was her reaction:
Luda:"Becky, tell me, please, that this gift is for me. :
))))
Me: "Yes...Mike (my DH) told me you aren't on FB!
me: Well, he said Tim wasn't on!"
It's okay...yes...it's for you!'
Luda: Love it!!!!OH MAY!!!!!! (probably meant oh MY!) thank you so much!!!
Luda: Yes, Tim is not on FB, but I am.
Me: And it is probably the most beautiful quilt I've made to this point in my life!
Luda: I don't know, but when I saw it, it made me cry.
Me:
Luda: It's beautiful!
Me: because, it is really that pretty...prettier in person than in the photos.
So, I've already been thanked! It wasn't a total surprise, so I went ahead and posted FB, but I didn't remember that she was a friend on FB since she doesn't post much/any.

Holy cow, I love it. It was pretty before, but the quilting put it over the top... And done on a DSM... Wow!! I used to say I had an "allergy" to brown, but now it's one of my favorite colors - along with red!
Thanks for sharing your journey!

That is just so gorgeous. Thanks for all the pictures of the different steps. Did you happen to take a picture of wrestling it while doing the quilting? That is a challenge! Safe travels and happy holidays.
