My mother-in-law has been asking me to make her a quilt for awhile now. This fall she said that she would really like me to make that quilt for her before she dies...she's in her early 80's. So I guess that was a pretty strong hint that I need to get it done! I asked my husband's siblings if they were interested in a Christmas present and if they paid for the supplies I would do the work, so the pressure was on! She wanted something with stars and gave me a napkin and piece of fabric with colors she liked...and some yarn a very specific blue she wanted and I began the hunt. The quilt is from the Gathering Friend's book Quilter's Piece and is the one on the cover. I added an additional strip to the border to make it a bit bigger. I quilted it using the pantograph Antique Lace from urban elementz. It was quite the learning experience making such a big project! I think she was happy with the results!
