This quilt was a gift for a friend who is going to China to teach English for a year. We threw her a party on Saturday and I finished this up on Thursday night, but my sleep deprivation was worth it - she LOVED it! :) This is my first larger quilt - it's a generous twin size.

Border closeup - far from perfect, but it looked good overall.

I made a matching pillowcase and embroidered "Sweet Dreams" on both the pillowcase and the corner of the quilt.

very beautiful quilt! I love blue and white together. To me it looks so clean and tidy. I love the pattern and the pillow case just finishes it off perfectly! So glad she liked it! Will she be taking it with her to China?
