Handmade Quilt from my Mother-In-Law

When this quilt was in the “making the blocks” stage I told my mother-in-law how much I loved it.  Little did I know that those words would mean she was going to gift it to me!  She is so precious and I *LOVE* this quilt!

 

This is a close-up of the blocks.  The flowers are all embroidered by hand, as well as the quilting around them.

 

I love the borders as well – the bright colors are so cheerful!

 

I love this quilt and especially love that it was made for me by my mother-in-law.  Unfortunately, since it will go on the bed in the guest room, that’s also where our geriatric cat spends the bulk of his time. And let’s just say that we are very familiar around here with hairballs.    Therefore, I’ve made the decision to not leave the quilt on the bed.  Instead, I’ve now decided that it will go on the bed when we have company and I’ll just shut the door to the room so that the cat can’t get in there.  This quilt is far too beautiful not to be on display.
