I bet your Mom loves it as much as her little friend on her lap. <br />With the quilt design you used, did you just start in the center with the circle flower type center then petal the heck out of it? Or did you have several dahlia stylized flowers spread through out the whole quilt?<br />Answer in a psot if you want since I follow you and thanks for sharing.Quiltsmileshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04346313090377024308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1650441766408409956.post-67730001776956559412016-02-29T04:56:07.869-08:002016-02-29T04:56:07.869-08:00It is so pretty, and your mom looks lovely all cud...It is so pretty, and your mom looks lovely all cuddled up in it!KaHollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02528677007819875856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1650441766408409956.post-41710498478927789112016-02-28T23:42:12.599-08:002016-02-28T23:42:12.599-08:00Your quilt is stunning and of course very special ...Your quilt is stunning and of course very special as it is for your mother.

This would be a great leader-ender and a great scrappy quilt, too. I'm going to dig out my 9-patch swap blocks and see what I can do to make one myself. Thanks for the inspiration! Your quilting is perfect for this, too. How exciting to be able to fly over and hand it to her in person! ~dezertskyquiltingSusan https://www.blogger.com/profile/09159163720029661287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1650441766408409956.post-11096708142794544952016-02-26T16:08:57.358-08:002016-02-26T16:08:57.358-08:00Pretty quilt, pretty Mom!
