LYTTMAB!

This quilt is for my Mom. I saw this panel and just had to get it. "I love you to the moon and back" is something we say to eachother, and special to us. I didn't have a pattern to follow so I got on the internet and scoured around for star patterns. I chose six that I likes and had never done any of them (I hadn't done the friendship star either). I just mixed and matched them until I loved it. All the fabric was from my stash. The backing is a yellow swirley flannel. I quilted it with black on top and yellow in the bobbin. Then quilted each star separately with yellow top and bottom. It made her cry as I knew it would. It was her birthday yesterday, but her husband is battling cancer and she didn't feel very birthday-like. I knew that she would be spending a lot of time in frigid hospital rooms and at doctors appointments so I made a velco wrap with handles so she can wear it like a bag and take it with her. This quilt took me 3 days to sew and two days to quilt. I have never done one from start to finish that quickly. This one just flowed! I am very happy with it, and the reaction was priceless.
