I had always thought that the more I sewed, the straighter my seams would become, but that didn't happen. All in all it was fun and the lighter fabrics have actually grown on me, I hope my friend enjoys her birthday gift.

Cris,
Your quilt is lovely. What is the small hanging to the side which looks like a colorwash quilt with a city sky line? Could you post a close up of it? (I have made a colorwash wall quilt of Atlanta sky line.)
