    They'll love it ;)

    Cris,
    Your quilt is lovely. What is the small hanging to the side which looks like a colorwash quilt with a city sky line? Could you post a close up of it? (I have made a colorwash wall quilt of Atlanta sky line.)

    The light colors definitely made this quilt pop. Beautiful. Lucky friend.

    My mom made that and it is some kind of picket fence pattern she did with her quilt club. The book it came from is up here in IL and she is in FL right now.
