I love the way this quilt turned out! It wasn't a difficult pattern or overly challenging, but anytime I actually finish a quilt, I feel good. Most people probably don't realize how expensive all the materials cost, and how much time really goes into making one. But, it's something that will last many, many years and will fill that person's life with warmth and love - at least that's what I like to think! Quilts are made to be used. They are the best kind of art - the functional kind.
