at the beginning of this year? Well, I just did it yesterday! I waited and waited for her to send me a pic and she never did. I had free time yesterday, so I just went ahead and made the top. I am going to send this to my best friend in FL to finish it for me as I don't have the slightest clue how to do the back and quilt it? I am not about to learn on a gift either.

Do you see the flawed fabric in there? I just saw it in the pic. I hope it isn't too noticable. UGH.

I sent some of the strips to her wedding and people signed them.

Excuse the pics, dh took them and I don't have a clean spot on the floor to spread it out.

That looks like a lot of work. I'm sure your friend will love it.

I think it is a wonderful present!

Kimber- that is a gift I am sure they will cherish for years.

My friend is going to attach the batting and back and then quilt it. That is where I am clueless. :)
