I did it! My first quilting project!
I can't even tell you how proud I am that I made this...and in a week to boot. This is a quillow (lap quilt that folds into a pillow) that I made for my friend's mother who was just diagnosed with cancer. Please forgive the cruddy quality of the pictures...I will try to get a better one tomorrow.

Way to go Michelle!!
I'm so jealous! I love those but don't have the patience to make one.
I'm proud of you!

Chelle! That is really nice! You mean you did it in a week? You are very talented! Did you already offer it to your friend's mom? Tell us how it made her feel and how she liked it...

Hi Guys
Yes, I did it in a week with some help from my experienced quilter-mom. I did very little else but make that quilt! I got home Sat. night, so I haven't had a chance to give it to her yet. I'll keep you posted

Great job Chelle. I am just working on my first 9 patch. You sure did a good job on it. So sorry about your friends Mom though I know she will treasure it.

Chelle~I am jealous too! That is beautiful! I am trying to stay up with quilting but baseball has taken all my free time. I am going to get back in to it soon.
You did a great job with the quilt. I bet your friends mom loved it!

Thanks Michelle. Unfortunately, my friend's mother passed away before I was able to give it to her
I gave it to my friend though, and she was deeply touched.
