My Daughters Quilt

 
Twenty five years ago I started a quilt for my daughter . She was in Junior High. I had vowed to have it done when she graduated from high school. I showed  her what I was doing and was all excited about it and she just kinda blew it off. I was crushed. I worked on it for a while and then put it away.Not taking into consideration that she was a teenager. Well to make a long story short , she graduated from high school , twice from college, got married and had 2 kids and this summer I made up my mind I was finishing it and giving it to her for Christmas AND I DID. She was very surprised.This is right after she opened the quilt.
The name of the quilt pattern is "Nosegay " or" Brides Bouquet"
The label was made by my friend Jeannie. I knew what I wanted on it and she does beautiful printing anfd free hand drawing. I am happy it is finished. Now I have 2 more to make and it sure can't take me that long, LOL
