Oh my, oh my! I am so happy to say this quilt is finished:) Yea!! Yea!! It has been a labor of love to be sure.When I first saw this Block of the Month advertised by Rebecca Mae Designs, I absolutely knew that I had to make one for my Dear Daughter. I have loved each and every chapter. I spent my time sewing and thinking of my daughter.
I think my favorite chapter is the center. One wild and precious life. She is so precious to me.
Bur I really like the Nourish Faith chapter as well. Those corner flowers are so great!
I spent a very long time quilting this beauty. It was a lot of free motion mixed with some fun motifs.I love the hearts and flowers:) Aren’t they pretty?
Here is my quilt getting ready to be trimmed for binding.
I trimmed and then serged the edges to keep things all neat and stable while sewing the binding on.
I used my favorite binding method to get these fantastic mitered edges and beautiful invisible front stitching.
I added a label to the back that I printed out on my computer. I will make a blog post on how to do this soon…
And done! And none too soon because my dear daughter’s birthday is tomorrow! She is going to LOVE it:)
Thank you for following along on my Dear Daughter journey. It has been a SWEET adventure!
Beautiful!

Hi Tracy. I am currently making this quilt for my daughter. She is 26 years old…as I am making it, I began to wonder if this quilt is too young for her? Just wondering what your thoughts are??
Thank you,
Julie

Hi Julie! I am 50 and if my mom made this for me, I would treasure it and snuggle under it with thoughts of her warm hugs. Definitely definitely make it. It is a fun one!❤️❤️
