Such beautiful work, Virginia! Your friends will be thrilled. What do the quilts measure? And do you do your own quilting?

You made me cry. That is beautiful, both visually and the thought behind it.

Such beautiful work, Virginia! Your friends will be thrilled. What do the quilts measure? And do you do your own quilting? It's a little big bigger than a lap quilt, a little smaller than a twin. I'm not sure on exact measurements but it's big enough to snuggle under while watching TV on the sofa. And yes, I do my own quilting. I picked an easy quilt pattern and went with simple straight line quilting because I never know when I'll feel well enough to sit in my quilt room and work. I wanted them to be finished, not fancy.

Straight line quilting is my absolute favorite! Much of the FMQing is too ornate for me, though I can appreciate the skill and hours and effort that go into it. And sometimes it is just right. And the love you put into every stitch... palpable!

Well, to me they're perfectly unfancy.

Wow Virginia, the quilts are gorgeous!! The colours are just what I'd pick for myself, and the quote sounds just perfect for your friendship with them both. I'm sure they will love and treasure the quilts.
