and I :heart: it! Sugar Puffs!
It is a gift to my MIL and FIL. My husband's aunt (FIL's sister) lived with them for *9 years* until she passed away in March 2004. Abigail is named after her (she Aunt Fern share the same middle name - June). I take my hat off to both of them, but especially my MIL for being commited to letting Aunt Fern enjoy her last years in a family environment rather then a nursing home. My MIL *insisted* that Aunt Fern be discharged from the hospital 2 weeks before she died so that she could die in her own bed rather then a cold, sterile hospital room.
So that is the little story behind the quilt. I hope they enjoy it and it keeps them warm through many a cold, wintery Michigan night. :happy:

The late evening sun made the colors look funky and pardon the grass clippings. Michael mowed last night. :) I will post another picture when I get the binding done.
TFL!
