Hoorah ! Hoorah ! Another little quilt under my belt !
This quilt is intended for my mother's twin, Aunt Edith, in Michigan,
who will be celebrating their birthday on May 17, as she turns 85.
My beautiful aunt is enjoying good health, still driving herself to Church and about,
and, God willing, will have her 3 daughters with her to celebrate the occasion.
I so wish that I could be there,
but instead I'm sending a hug in the form of a handmade quilt.
You can see the size of the quilt here, compared to a queen-sized bed,.........
hopefully, the quilt is just the right size for covering her lap and legs.

Old-time quilter that I am, I finished it with a label.
The one thing I didn't do is add a sleeve for hanging. I hope
that wasn't a mistake, but I wanted her to actually use
the quilt while reading or watching t.v., and
I didn't want the top edge to have the stiffness added
by a sleeve.
this is delightful...i am sure she will love it and it will make her cozy warm and loved

That is just exquisite and I am sure she will treasure it Dolly! I love that you put a label on it, I have never done that, such a nice idea. I like the sun-dappled photo too.
