Finally finished putting together a quilt for my sister. Because of the snow, the quilt is presented on a side view. The center square is called "sisters", the four hearts represent "surrounded by love", the Irish Chain represents our heritage. The four corner squares are called "shooting star" and between these is Diane's garden. I will be placing an embroidered dragonfly to represent me. My sister believes that when she sees a shooting star, our Mum is saying "hi" from heaven.

Now, I just have to figure out what quilting designs to use Any suggestions anyone?

Thank you for looking

It is a very pretty quilt. It has a lot of interesting features. Your snowy landscape is pretty too.

Pretty top! I think the blank squares and borders would look good with feathers.

Nice quilt! All the symbolism makes it an especially wonderful quilt....and I love the colors! After doing either SID or echo quilting, I'd probably quilt larger hearts inside each regular block, a larger stipple in the garden areas and I'd incorporation shooting stars all over the large central portion of your quilt, to represent your Mum watching over the 4 of you. Your sister is going to love it!

Very pretty quilt, and nice symbols to represent your family. It's snowing here too, and that doesn't happen very often here.

thank you everyone. It's so very nice to receive such positive feedback from those you value The ideas for the quilting are very similar to those I was thinking - very helpful The idea of incorporating shooting stars is perfect. thank you all again.

Oh, and yes. We got 12.5 inches of snow by yesterday morning. I sure hope its the last for the season LOL Oh, and most interesting.... we saw 6 Robbins in the trees while it was snowing!!
