    Very touching. The quilt is lovely, and I know your sister will feel the love from both you and your mother.

    I like this, the colors play well together. I'm sure your sister will treasure this for a long time.

    I finished up this quilt and wanted to share the pictures. I just quilted simple vertical lines down the blocks 1/4” on either side of the seams. Then quilted around the borders 1/4” from the seams. For the backing, I used a wild red zebra print my mother had a ton of. It doesn’t match the look of the quilt at all, but it’s what she had.

    I really like how it turned out!
