I am not surprised at your neighbor's reaction to her beautiful quilt!  All the love, time and effort put into that quilt certainly was worth it to see your neighbor smile and appreciate your thoughtfulness.  Your post is very uplifting and your kindness stands out.

Re: We Gave Our Neighbor The Quilt Today.

@KKWA   My daughter picked the fabric and design, cut the pieces and sewed the top and put the back on.

 

She has a woman who has a long arm quilting machine.  I guess there are dozens of quilting patterns. It's computerized and you pick your design and off it goes. I can't imagine how long it would take to quilt by hand.

 

After it was done. DD trimmed it and then hand sewed the binding on.

 

Me, I can sew a button on, period.  lol

@CrazyKittyLvr2   This is just beautiful.   My grandmother made all of grandkids quilts in the 70’s and I saved mine.  Just random quilt blocks from leftover materials.  I treasure it, much more now than when I got it 12 years old.  Grandparents and my mom gone 20 years and just love the memories it gives me.

 

What a beautiful, thoughtful gift for your neighbor.
