This is a quilt I made for the mom of a friend. Her name is Margaret.
I designed and made this one from scratch, starting with making the diamond grid - or "trellis".
Then appliqued the vines on.
Then designed each flower and bud as I went along.
Then quilted it in a diamond cross hatching design which took FOREVER, as each line had to be a start and stop in every block.
So, yes it's ready for gifting, it's an original that I named for the recipient, and yes, I am so done with this one!
The good news is that I like the result.

Beautiful quilt, changing my name to Margaret would be worth it if I got a quilt like that!!!!:) Like your system for hanging the quilt for the photo. I do not have anywhere inside to hang a quilt, but this would work on my front porch:)
