When You Have Nothing to Show for Yourself

When you have nothing to show for yourself, well then show someone else's!



My mom finished this king-sized beauty right before Thanksgiving.  Its inspiration was an Asian themed fabric pack. 

If you click on the picture to make it larger, you might be able to see the feather quilting on the green sashing, and the leaves on the black frames.  She did an impressive job.  No one can tell that this was her first attempt at free-motion feathers and leaves.

Gorgeous, isn't it?

  2. That is so beautiful! She did a wonderful job with both the piecing and quilting of it. The colors are gorgeous. Did she come up with the pattern on her own? I love it - be sure to tell her so!
