Good morning cuties,

Well I finally finished my sister's quilt. Many hours of love went into this one but it was so worth it to see their reaction, she cried and just couldn't get over it. I was so pleased. She had asked for a sun and moon to be incorporated in the quilt and that was not an easy task. She loves (is obsessed) with anything sunset and sunrise so I went with the colors to represent those themes. It is a little offset because I thought I was finished and turns out I had to add another row (darn 15'' matresses) and then I didn't have enough of the brown fabric left to continue my pattern on the bottom. Nevertheless it is more than perfect in her eyes and that's what matters. That's me in the first picture with my thumb's up. I am so relieved it is done.
So thanks for peeking, have a great day,
hugs
Michelle

This is quite fabulous. I can see the many hours of 'love' you put in to this. Striking pattern especially for one who loves moon and sun. Was this an ITH block? I've never seen this pattern but lol, I am not a big quilted although I love looking at all the pretty pictures in the books. What a treasure. I know you'll sure be her favorite sister! Masterpiece.

Beautiful Michele! I know she was so happy that you did this for her and she would not have cared what you said was wrong with it. I don't see anything. You did a fabulous job. Hugs and blessings. Gail

What a work of love. By the way, I love your quilt display stand - the two cut-off stumps with living models.

Beautiful! A Masterpiece! Love! These are all the things I see (and so does your sis I'm sure) when I look at this quilt. If it was all done ITH, it must have taken you a long time, as it looks queen or king sized. Very nice Michelle.

I knew you were working hard on this one Michelle, what an absolutely stunning quilt. I am in awe of your efforts. I love the way you have made the top and it looks like it was meant to be that way. I know why your sister was so thrilled with it, you are such a wonderful seamstress and I know how many hours went into this one. It will be treasured for always. Great job, love Chris

Love the quilt, it turned out beautiful. Could you let me know where the sun and moon designs are from? I love suns and moons and would love to add them into my sisters quilt of Rhino. Thank you for sharing.
Happy Stitching!!! :~)

thank you
The sun is a design I put together myself. The moon is a design that I will try to find where it came from and let you know.
