have had a love/hate relationship. At first, I hated it. I hated the colors, the pattern...everything about it! Here's a picture of the top before a second border was sewn on and before it was quilted.
Now, I love it!
I love the colors, the fussy cutting, the flannel backing, the quilting...yes, I love it! And I'm not usually happy with my quilts...I always find flaws or find something I would do differently. But, not this one. (Ignore the black spot...that's on my camera. I don't know what it is, I may have to have a new camera? Hint, hint?)
After quilting.
I love the backing and the scrappy binding.
If you can't see it, click on the pictures!
I made this for David's mother. She's ill. She's going through chemotherapy, which makes her immune system bonkers. That's why I added the flannel to the back...to keep her warm. I've never used flannel on my quilting machine, but I love working with it...I may never use anything else again!
Oh...before I forget:
