the future's so bright quilt


Made for a friend who just graduated from high school.
Her personality matches the colors in this quilt.
(I finished the quilt about a half hour before the party started.)
Thanks to all of you who cheered me on as I raced to complete this.

I love it! It is just beautiful. So bright and cheery. I love that it is ageless; I mean that it is perfect for a new high school graduate, but it will be just as perfect for her when she is a young professional, a new mom, a not-so-new mom, a grandmother. What a great gift!

I am so in awe of this quilt. I've never made one before, don't know if I have the time or stamina for it, but if I did make one, I think I'd like to do something like this. It is beautiful. There is so much to it, yet there is a simplicity about it. I'm sure the new graduate will love it.

Linda said...

I love it! I love how the white just makes the colors pop! You are phenomenal for getting this done so quickly! I'm sure your friend will love it. I can't wait to see some of the other block swap quilts! Needless to say you are the first across the finish line with this one!

It is amazing! The colors, the bright white, the design, the quilting itself, everything. I just started quilting this year and this is the kind of quilt I hope to be able to make in the future. Congratulations!
