Isn't it a gorgeous quilt?! I asked for "jewel tones," and I love the colors they used!
My Mamma did most of the piecing (sewing the pieces together), and my mom machine-quilted it. They are both experienced quilt-makers who do intricate, beautiful work.
I love the black background, and I even love the back of the quilt--because that's where the hidden gem of this jewel-toned quilt is discovered!
My mom used different colors of thread to quilt it--and I love the effect!
It's a great size for curling up on the couch on a cool winter evening (or on a warm summer evening when the kids and I have gotten chilled drinking smoothies!)
I'm so fortunate to be in a family with such talented and generous matriarchs!

That is an amazing quilt! I am speechless, I can't even imagine coming up with something so intricate.
I may like the back even more than the front. Beautiful! The dark jewel tones are really lovely and the quilting is just insane. You are such a talented bunch!
I've seen and admired it in person - it's absolutely beautiful!!!! She is an amazing quilter....
Awesome-ness!!! Did your mom machine or hand quilt? Did she machine quilt on a long arm machine?
It's beautiful! When I graduated in May, my best friend gave me a quilt that her mom had made for me. It is one of my favourite gifts ever!
Wow such beautiful work! I made a quilt once and I'm still so proud of it, not even close to that level of skill. What I love most about quilts is they get better with age :)
WOW!!! It's absolutely gorgeous and something I know you'll treasure for years!
Beth- that is GORGEOUS!
Wow - gorgeous!!

This made me miss my Mamma.
She was a talented lady, too.

Gorgeous. I can't imagine having the patience to do such things.
What a beautiful quilt and keepsake! I love jewel tones too, so this especially speaks to me. You are indeed blessed to be following in the footsteps of such talented women.
