80th Birthday Lap Quilt

have you thought about backing it with flannel? I made a lap quilt for my mom when she was in a wheel chair and backed it with flannel. it made it warmer and washed up very well. you did a very good job picking colors.

Ducky it's absolutely beautiful and the fabric with the cream is gorgeous! Your Mum will love it. And I went back to look at your points - they're perfect! Silly goose, or should that be duck! :D

What a thoughtful and lovely gift. I sensed my mother was dying even though her doctors didn't say so, when I was making her a Christmas quilt and so I showed her the blocks each step of the way. I didnot wait and give it to her only on Christmas. Once it was done I brought it out to show her sometimes and on Christmas finally gave it to her. She was thrilled through the entire process. She died 31/2 months later. I'm so glad I didn't wait. I know the love that went into your making this quilt for your mother. I'm certain she will cherish your treasure because you made it whether it be for a day, a month or hopefully more years! Great job!/ Lissa
