My DH's Aunt brought this quilt to me and asked me to hand quilt it for her. She is a special lady. And, is about 88 years old. She can't quilt her quilts anymore but still loves to piece them on the machine. I thought this was a pretty little quilt when I saw it. But, is has been a nightmare. First off, when I was sandwiching it, the sides kept jumping up on it. I pinned and repinned and finally said to heck with it and put the lap hoop on it and started quilting. I had to pull and stretch the thing because it was so wonky!! I thought I would never finish it. But, finally it is ready to go home. thought I'd share it with you before it leaves.

Job well done. I've done a few like this for others. I know that feeling of finally done. Now on to a quilt you really enjoy doing! Keep us posted on your next project

It's beautiful. Well done you for sticking with it, you've done a superb job. Gosh, wish I could piece as well as your Aunt...and I'm galloping toward 50.

Your DH's aunt is lucky you quilted this for her and took out the wonkyness. It is a beautiful quilt and so is your quilting! Color placement makes this quilt!
