Gorgeous! Has she received it yet? What did she think?
Sorry Iminei, hadnt been on for a bit. Yes, she got it around the Easter break. She loves it and sleeps wrapped in it. I am beginning to think it is getting a bit warm (June in our neck of the woods is in the 20s C) but she sleeps with the quilt and her huge mastiff cross dog - how there is enough room on the bed for the two of them, I don't know, but that is how she likes to sleep. I dread the day I decide to wash the thing!

That is so cool, living near Barcelona, Gaudi Sagrada Familia Basilica is quite special to me - Gaudi was a wonderful artist.

A beautiful quilt, indeed, lucky you. Congratulate your lovely Auntie!

Thank you lovely ladies, I am quite proud of myself, to be honest. A lot of the fabrics for the HST is recycled from friends and family, and DD2 has had a horrible year, battling bullying, an eating disorder and the loss of her beloved grandfather. I chose this pattern because I thought the meaning behind it was important. She knows that the fabrics were donated by those who love her and she is now seeing the light at the end of the tunnel

Not at all ... I assume you know what her favourite colours are !

Is she an old fashioned lady or more up to date, that might help with the design of the quilt.
She is very energetic and with it, I have looked at loads of patterns mostly old fashioned blocks, but I just haven’t found anything that says “this one”

Hello to all!!! I am all for resurging, @Lowena last year was a really bad year and I am hoping that 2023 will be better for us. I did very little in the way of quilting last year - started one quilt for DD2 and I am in the process of quilting it now. I hope to finish it in a couple of weeks - it has been far too large a project - it is ginormous for me and my little machine. That said, i have learnt a great deal while doing it. After that, i want to start on a lap quilt for my dear mother in law. My father in law died last november and she is going to be moving into a smaller house, so I thought i would make her a lap quilt as a housewarming present. Still haven't decided on the pattern, although i know the colours i want to use...is that weird?

Well done! I have done a couple of lone stars, with more or less success, depending on which one we are talking about, but I found it a very enjoyable challenge. I did find it somewhat challenging and the air might have turned blue at some stages.... :boohoo: :headbang: :rant: :headbang: :rant:
