iHeart for Mom ;)

Here's a very traditional look made from my iHeart Quilt pattern.  

I made this for my Mom.  

She LOVES pink and flowers so this fabric was just right for her.

The machine quilting was lovingly done by my dear friend 

Lisa Teichmann over at Garden Gate Quilting!  

 

Lisa filled my Mom's quilt with even more love with all to the free hand hearts!!  Beautiful, just beautiful! 

I handed this quilt over to Lisa and said 'do what you think' 

and the quilt was returned to me with the beautiful quilting. 

(Unfortunately I washed the quilt before taking pictures)

Thank you, thank you, thank you!! Lisa

I LOVE the quilting and so does Mom!

This quilt measures 72"x72" - the largest size for the pattern.

I used cotton for the front and flannel for the backing as Mom's always cold and I wanted the quilt to be a BIG surrounding HUG!
