beautiful quilt and a beautiful jester of love. You should be proud.

I did--but it got lost in the shuffle. lol I picked her up--we stopped for some hot coffee and tea--then I dorve to the lake and parked while we looked at the water. I had just come from having lunch with my daughter so gave her the six lollipops I'd picked up for her when we visited a candy store. Then I showed her the pictures I'd gathered for her--of her kids when they were little. We chatted more. Then I made sure the drinks weren't in the way and said "Oh! I had something else for you!" She was so surprised--even before she opened it. Then she saw and--gave a little scream--and teared up. I ran out of the van to her side so I could hold it up for her to see--then I wrapped it around her front and told her it was to celebrate her new life. She was so happy. :-) Then--perfect timing--her daughter--the one I'm close to (a horse thing--and we share a birthdate) called--so she teased her mom about crying and having known about the secret gift all along.

So--yeah--sweet, very sweet.

Ragged flannel #15 is in the beginning stages. This one will be for my daughter's boyfriend's mom...

I always use three--and use Warm and Natural batting. I'm sure it would work with different battings--but what happens is I've made so many of these I want every one to be the same so I can use leftovers on future quilts. I save all batting and flannel that is big enough to make a half square--for two rectangles=one block

Very nice job. Sure she will love it. Blue around each block give it a nice touch.
