*Another one added 4/27*Pictures of my mom's quilts...
Since I don't have any of my own, I thought I would post pics of the quilt my mom has made my family.
Here is a pic of part of the queen size bridal quilt my mom made for my wedding 7 yrs ago. I took a close-up so you could see the detail.
I cried when she gave it to me, and that was before I became a quilter.

Thanks--I tell her that she's so talented all the time, but she's very modest. I have one more to post...and will do it later. It's the one she made for my younger daughter when she was born.

Gina,
My mom said that she found it in Keepsakes Quilting catalog (this was 2 1/2 yrs ago), but she was too frugal to buy the pattern, so she made the templates on her own. I wish I had that much confidence. I love it too and would love to make one myself, so if you find the pattern, would you mind sharing?
Thanks,
Chelle
