Impressive! That must have taken awhile to do, a true labor of love and creativity. It's a wonderful heirloom quilt.

Thank you. It did indeed take an awful lot of time since each book and decorative item was done alone then added...I am pleased with it and hope she enjoys it for a long time...quilts do tend to become heirlooms. IT is my fault since I had posted a bookcase quilt on my Facebook and she fell in love with it, so now she has one.

Wow! That is gorgeous. I am very impressed by your work and skill.

I'm not a seamstress at all, but I do know that quilts take a lot of work. What I can comment on is the level of creativity. Wonderful. All the details such as book titles (the Bible and The Body Farm), the pair of glasses, the cat, and especially the placement of the clock just are superb. Kudos to you.......Maryl

It is impressive, Kay. You should be extremely pleased and I know she is too. Some of my most treasured possessions are two quilts my mother made for me many many moons ago! Since she is no longer with me, I treasure them even more. She always called them a labor of love and I am sure you felt the same way.

Thank you for commenting. When I make a quilt, I always enjoy most the ones that I get to design. It is just more fun. It would go a bit faster nw that I have leaned a lot about the machine and it's foibles, but it actually took several good hours to make a single block. Gathering the fabrics was fun (than you Etsy) and getting the titles of authors (Caldwell and Reichs and King) as well as the relavant textbook was jut fun. I did enjoy it very much and actually hated to finish it. I'm glad yalll like it.

Lovely work, Kay! I gave quilting a try ages ago and discovered I didn’t have the patience for it, I truly can appreciate what you’ve done!

That is simply amazing, Kay! I have tried some simple quilting years ago, but was not patient enough to do it well. You are so artistic, it is just beautiful.

It's beautiful!

Thanks you all. It was fun and it was a lot of work, but she is delighted with it so that makes the work worthwhile.

Beautiful quilt! The level of detail is very impressive. I notice something new each time I look at the pictures. Congrats to your daughter on her graduation!

Thanks you Lori

Very nice Kay! My wife crochets afghans and Christmas stockings for family, so I know how much work home-made items can be. And I'm sure a quilt is much more work than an afghan, especially when you design your own.

WOW!

Thank you guys. It really was a labpr of love for my daughter.

Oh Wow Kay, my gosh what a labour of love . Your daughter is one lucky girl !

Thank you, she loved it.
