@yellowrose , it is the perfect size for a lap quilt.  Reminds you of summer.  LM

@Lilysmom   I know this wasn't your favorite project but the final product is beautiful.

The back is as beautiful as the front.  Your stitches are even and you show no knots or hanging threads.

 

Nice work. I know you liked last years project better, but you did this one just as nice.  Congratulations on a job well done.

@stevieb @Carmie @mspatmac , between meetings yesterday I ironed the quilt, pressed the border and have the binding almost finished.  What a difference it makes!

 

Will post the final photo when I finish.

 

I truly have Spring fever.  It was 7C (44F) here today and the snow is melting like crazy!  Time to wrap up the quilting for this year!  LM

Beautiful!

 

If you give it away make sure it is someone who appreciates all that work..

 

My Girlfriend made one for her Son and Daughter-in-law and the put it in the corner for the dog to lay on....

 

My firend was so hurt and still tears up when someone mentions quilting..

Butterflies are my sign, they represent losing a child, i just love that quilt. When my husband was sick,i told him if he would send me aign ,he was okay when he passed, he said i will if i can, what ,i said a butterfly ,and he did ,on a walk ,about a week after he died,my  family and i went on a walk in the end of april, a big butterfly came out on no where,flyed all around me,and off, people saw it,i knew he was okay.

When you lose some one you L~O~V~E, that Memory of them, becomes a TREASURE.

This is so refreshing and pretty!  I have a couple of my Great Grandmothers quilts that I treasure.  It's so much work that goes into it and I cherish them.  I wished I had the patience to follow in her foot steps...but I don't!  I admire those who do.
