Well, I hope she would've!
I started making this quilt over five years ago.
I was making it for Mum for Mother's Day 2006 but she passed away

I'll be the first to admit the design and fabrics are
a little old fashioned but it was
what Mum liked...
I have spent the last few days machine quilting and finishing it.
I have this wonderful feature on my machine, which is a bit like cruise control in
a car....
a car....
Press this little button and the machine sews itself.
I find this has helped me master my FMQ technique because I have one less
action to worry about.
action to worry about.
Disengage the presser foot, set the speed, press the button and away we go!
I was having a great time until I saw this! LOL!
Yes, I'd doubled over the quilt onto the back and quilted though 6 layers!

I must say I am happy with how the quilt has turned out...
It is not perfect but there is a lot of love in this quilt.
And that's certainly more important than perfection, don't you think!
I know Mum would agree!
Happy sewing!

Suz, Such a lovely quilt and your mom would have been so tickled with this quilt. Even more because you made it for her. What a great finish too! I love your machine quilting....even when you double over the quilt...tee hee! I can't tell you how many times I have done that. And what a precious picture of you and your mom...so sweet :)
This is a very beautiful quilt and I'm sure your mum would have adored it.
This is a gorgeous quilt and there is no doubt your Mum would have been delighted to have it and I bet she is delighted that you have finished it too. Love the quiting job - well done!
Sweet and lovely and made with love. It doesn't get any better.
