My sweet aunt Marian and I worked
MANY long hours
on this project
She was kind enough to take a picture of a quilt I saw online
and figure up the pattern for it
(with the loving help of another one of my sweet aunts, Carmel)
Together they figured up the dimensions and yards of fabric needed for this endeavor
It took us about 2 years to completely finish it
BUT
I will say it was completely and utterly, 110%
WORTH it.
I will always cherish this blanket because
not only is it a piece of art
(at least in my eyes)
but it reminds me of the great times
I had with my aunts and my mom
working on this quilt
laughing, eating good food, enjoying one another's company
and just having a good time
(doing what we love best, SEWING!)
So...before I show the pictures of this magnificent quilt I'd just like to give a special THANKS to some of my favorite people who assisted me on this project
My mom
Marian
Carmel
(and I should probably thank my hubby for being so patient with me as I worked countless Saturdays and late nights to complete this project, love you babe!)
SO
DRUMROLL PLEASE
Here it is!!!!!
(we had some communication issues with the quilter
so this minor 'flaw' (dark thread) has yet to be fixed...but I still LOVE it)
