My mom though, does read my blog, so I didn't want to reveal too much about it. She had seen it when I was putting it together for the book, but she hadn't seen it quilted. The background is white and the pinks are from my stash, which was really a challenge, since I don't have much stash. The finished quilt is a twin size, so a good snuggly quilt for her. The white has a ribbon print on it, so I quilted loops on it and the pink represents the pink ribbon for breast cancer awareness and my mom's favorite color.
I experimented with quilting my name into one of the bottom blocks. You have to know it's there to really notice it.
I embroidered the label at my mom's one weekend. I love doing embroidered labels since they are so personalized and contain the information nicely.
The quilt is a pattern in the new GE Designs book Strip On. I did the pattern testing for the pattern before it went to print, so I received a copy of the new book signed by her and I love it.

It's beautiful! I love a snuggly quilt like that. Great pattern and quilting your name into it is very cool! Love that loopy "M".
Very beautiful quilt. I love the pink and white.
Crap, your quilt made me cry.
