Wow! Absolutely beautiful! I guess her doing this while undergoing chemo kept her mind busy. As some have found out, waiting might be too late. Why not take it up to her soon so she can enjoy it? Lovely quilting!

That is absolutely EXQUISITE. What a beautiful job of piecing. You LA quilting stands alone - I love the way it turned out on the back of the quilt. Both you and your Aunt did a magnificient job on this beautiful quilt. Please be sure to enter it in some Show. Hope she is feeling better. Thanks for showing us. I love it.

They are joined by pink and white blocks (fitting colors for a breast cancer survivor). I stitched in the ditch in each of those tiny wedges and around each ring; feathers in the all the white background fabric and the pink/white blocks. I layered white poly batting (MicroSafe from Joann's - the last of that bolt) on top of 100% Legacy cotton to give it definition and loft. I used almost a whole cone of FilTec white thread on it. I really don't want to call her to come and get it. Maybe I'll wait a month or two! :-)
WOW, it's absolutely beautiful
