Finished for a Friend
 

A sweet senior friend had these exchange blocks for almost 15 years and decided she wanted them finished for her daughter for Christmas. Thank goodness she had some extra fabric because it is really hard to make a queen sized quilt top out of only 12 blocks!! I made 4 more blocks in the same style, and then added triple sashing and borders until it measured 95 inches square! It's off to the quilter tomorrow.

Another UFO no longer hiding in a drawer! Thanks for looking.

Lovely quilt! How nice of you to finish it for your friend.

Love how you were able to add to and finish this lovely holiday quilt. I am sure your friend is thrilled!

Love it! I especially like the delectable mountains borders!

Beautiful quilt, love it !

You did a great job finishing this. You were lucky she had the extra fabrics you needed

That's an impressive finish and the border is just right!

Thank you for your kind words. I actually wanted to put the Delectable mountains the other way round because I thought they would emulate Christmas trees. But I could not get them to look decent in the mitered corners and this border cried out for mitered corners. So the trees are hanging from the ceiling!

It's beautiful!!! It will be a treasured gift!

Wonderful quilt! Your friend is surely very pleased with the great work you did!
