I have wanted to make a quilt for a friend of mine for a long time. It's finally time.
I took some quilt tops over to her house yesterday and she picked one out. It's not the one I thought she would choose so I was glad she had the opportunity to make the decision.
This is the one she picked out. It's a bigger quilt than I was planning on because I want to get two of them done before Christmas. So I got busy and put it on the frames this morning (my knee will attest to that). I only have a partial ball of pearl cotton so I need to go to the store before I begin.
I think I can work on it first thing in the morning and then again after dinner to make the progress a little faster. At least, that is my goal. . .
Hope you're having a lovely Saturday.

I can understand her choosing this one. It really is visually fun.
Wow--you are a very good friend to hand quilt it for her. Only my kids get those from me. :)
This is a lovely quilt; I especially like the background fabric you choose--I find it's difficult to locate those low volume, widely scattered prints. Most of what i see is pretty dense...nice work hugs, Julierose
What a pretty quilt! You have a very lucky friend to get such a work of art... and hand quilted too!
Are you going to hand quilt that? That is a really pretty quilt. People do tend to surprise me with their tastes too. I try to give people choices too, but make sure that the choices I offer are ones that are manageable in the time frame.
Very beautiful! No wonder she chose it!
I, too, can understand why your friend chose this quilt. It really is a wonderful pattern with great colors. I hope you're able to get it quilted quickly so you can get the other one finished by December.
