One person I know won't be reading this blog is my mother. So, I will show you a quilt I have been working on for her.
I got this back from the quilter today. The fabric is something that Mom bought many years ago, thinking she would make a simple quilt to match one a friend gave her. When they moved to a retirement facility (in 2004, I think) all the materials were neatly folded and waiting. I took them - along with a good portion of her unused stash - and finally decided what to do with it all. It's "whole cloth", meaning no patchwork, but I did seam together two pieces to make it large enough for her bed.
Now it needs binding and finishing. This is without question the biggest piece I have ever worked on. If I'm not heard from in a week, send a rescue party!

Your mother will LOVE your beautiful quilt. The fact that it's your first and so lovingly stitched should make it special. Congratulations, Liz! You're now officially a quilter. I've only made a couple larger sized quilts and a bunch of table runners and wall hangings. These smaller items are my favorite, since they don't take as long, leaving me more time for dolls. *smile*
