I do NOT get credit for this masterpiece!

I just wanted to document it for posterity and really felt I must share it with the world--it is so beautiful.  Done by our "real quilter" friend for my granddaughter...

I am not sharing the "signature" area; too much personal information for a public blog.  It's beautifully done.

Stunning!

Another one; I only "helped" with this one

Some eight or so years ago, my daughter started this baby quilt for her sister.  Her sister has finished creating her family, but it was not complete.  This year she decided to send it to our friends in Sweden.

She designed, pieced, and backed it with flannel.  Many friends helped with hand-quilting.  In the end I finished the hand-quilting and turned the backing over to form the binding.

Here is the back of very soft flannel

And the front of lovely little pastels squares

Very sweet, and much appreciated by the new baby.
