I thought this quilt was gonna be easy. I was so WRONG. I was having trouble getting it to line up. This seems to be my biggest priblem with every quilt. When I ffirst put this one together I had a big difference of about 2 inch it was a mess. I took boarders out and re measured. Got everything the same size then added boarder. Only in one row I have a big difference of almost 1 1/2 at top. I don't want to take it out. So I am was thinking the area were I am short I will add a message saying to and from and the date to fill the spot.

I LOVE how you started this thread, and finished it with your final product! What a great idea.
Your quilt turned out beautiful. I am sure she loved it. The colors and florals make it so cheery, and interesting. You did a great job.
How do your quilt police like it? They were helping you every step of the way. LOL.
