IT LOOKS FANTASTIC! I had planned to give mine away as well, but have become so proud of it and can't bear to part with it anymore (just as soon as I finish the quilting & binding) ... thanks so much for doing this ... it's been a LOT of fun! :)
I COMPLETELY understand why this is a tough quilt to give away, which makes the gift to your grandmother all the more special. She's going to be so touched.
This is absolutely GORGEOUS :) Your grandmother will surely love it, not only because it is totally breathtaking, but because you made it for her. What a treasure! :)
It's so beautiful and she'll love it! This was going to be my next project to complete but now I'll just layer and baste it, make the binding, and wait for the UPS guy...
that is so beautiful! you worked so hard on that one! I bet your grandmother will love it. what a sweet gift! Addison is all snuggled up in the quilt you send us right now. we just love it!
I understand you are attached to this quilt. It’s so wonderful and it was so much fun making the blocks with all participants. You put so much effort in making the quilt-a-long a huge success! Your grandmother will love it, I’m sure! She will feel this quilt is made with special love.
Congratulations Amanda Jean. It's beautiful, thank you for all your time and effort sharing the process with us. I'm sure your Grandmother will be thrilled.
Oh, your quilt is just beautiful. I kept up with you until time to cut all the little pieces!! Hope to get back to it soon. Your grandmother will love the quilt and be so proud of her granddaughter. Thank you so much for all the time you spent on putting the Quilt-a-long together. You have many followers!! Lois
amanda jean your grandmother will love it. just think you made this with all of your blogger friends doing it along with you. kinda like a cyber quilt guild hehe beautiful quilt julie
I can see why you are feeling attached to this quilt. It is the sweetest quilt ever! It is my favorite that you have shown us so far. Your gram is going to be so amazed and pleased with this gift from your heart. PS: How bout I ship my quilts to your for quilting? Either that or you come teach me how when you head back to MN this summer!! :)
Your finished quilt inspired me to do blocks 4-8 tonight. I just found your blog last week, so I'm way behind, but hope to have all of the blocks done in the next couple of days. Your grandma is a very lucky lady. I know she'll love it!
Amanda Jean, This quilt turned out so beautifully, and I know every stitch is wrapped in love.
This quilt will be a wonderful heirloom and it is so special that your heirlooms are going backwards, from grand daughter, to grand mother.
My mom made quilts for both of her grandmothers. She got both of them back many years later as her grandmother's passed away, they are more special to her now than they ever would have been had she kept them.
any wonder you are attached to it..............It's beautiful. I have the borders nearly finished on mine but yours is so much better, you are such a good teacher too. Thanks
What a beautiful gift to give your grandmother. I'm sure she's going to love it!
Thanks for giving your time and expertise to lead us through the process, Amandajean. It's been great having your work inspire me onwards in my quilting.
Amanda, I just love your blog. You do such nice work with your quilts. I love your colours and combinations - not really the traditional quilty look.
I've been reading on different blogs lately about a ironing board challenge. Might I suggest a challenge to see everyone's favourite quilt label? I'm a relatively new quilter, and I think I should start labelling my quilts. But where to start? I'd love some inspiration! I'd do a challenge myself, but I don't have a quilt blog...yet!
It is such a beautiful quilt, I think I would have a hard time giving that one away too. I bet it will be worth it though to see how much she loves it! :)
I love all your quilts and your colours are amazing. I would really like to make this one, sorry if I've missed it, but what size was the finished quilt?
I'm Liz, I've just started quilting and I really enjoy your site. I want to do your quilt along for 2008. I've noticed that week 10 doesn't show the completed directions. Can you help me? Thank you
Hi Amanda, Thank you so much for sharing! I love your tutorials and am learning fast. I'm from Karachi, Pakistan, so I can't get the jelly rolls and have to search for nice materials for my quilts. I mostly hand-piece and hand quilt mine... haven't yet learned to machine quilt although I do have a Singer Discmatic sewing machine. I love reading all your news. Thank you once again for making things so simple and easy to follow. Merlyn
I'm doing this quilt-a-long 4 years too late!! I'm loving it though and your whole blog has taught me so much! I'm starting a new blog and have put a link to your blog. I hope that's ok! Thanks, Lucy xx

it's just, so, beautiful.
Mazal Tov!
I'm totally behind now, as my former boss is pregnant, so I ditched all to work on the pinwheel quilt for her.
And then, well, I now understand the "WIP" phrase - mine's growing.
OY!
This has been so awesome, and I can't wait to complete mine, and I can't wait to see everyone else's, too!
so so pretty! She'll love it!
Beautiful Quilt! I love the colors!
I love the hands of your little helpers peeping over the top of the quilt.
I think you did a great job.Your Grandmother will love it.I know I would.
It looks so nice. Aren't the 30s fabrics just perfect for Grandmother's quilts?

Looks so pretty - and I'm sure your Grandma will love it!

It's just beautiful. Can't wait for your next quilt-a-long. I'd love to join in.
I think she will like it.
Oh how nice!!! I'll try to finish my top during Eastern! Promise....
That is one fine piece of work, it is absolutely BEAUTIFUL!! You can be very proud of that one for sure!

I can understand why you are attached to this quilt. It is stunning. I always love quilts made in 1930's fabrics - they are so yummy. Happy stitching.
I can just see the smile she will have when she receives this soft hug from you.......
It is such a beautiful quilt, I think I would have a hard time giving that one away too. I bet it will be worth it though to see how much she loves it! :)
I love all your quilts and your colours are amazing. I would really like to make this one, sorry if I've missed it, but what size was the finished quilt?
