Tara and Emily's Quilt for their Mother

This quilt was a while in the making, but I feel it turned out very nicely and they were very pleased :o) (to which one is always happy to hear!) These young women with their mother pulled out clothes and items from their lives to put into this quilt as a mother's day gift to their mom. There was clothing items from their youth, items that reminded them of things they did together as a family and things of their mother's.

Tara came very prepared with everything numbered and a drawn outline of how she wanted it presented on the quilt. Very amazing! I had to change a couple of things because of measurements and one item would have made the quilt too rigid in that area. It was a bit of a challenge to get all of the pieces to fit the way she wanted it, but it worked out just great!

These pictures are of the quilt in progress.

The final product!
