If you've been reading this blog for a while, and especially if you're one of my flickr friends, you know I have issues working with brown (used to be green, too, but I'm getting over that and putting some effort into brown now). There were many reasons why completing this quilt was a challenge for me, both emotionally and practically.
I know Kim's parents will be very happy when I give it to them on Monday, and even happier when they can present it to the friend she was making it for. I wanted to share it with you because of it's cool art-deco look. The setting Kim chose for the log cabin blocks is not very common and I think it is really effective with these semi-solid fabrics that have high contrast with the muslin.

Very beautiful quilt !
You did a wonderful job finishing it--your quilting on the muslin pieces is terrific. I am sure that this quilt will mean the world to her parents and friend. It was a project well worth your time and efforts! Kim had a good eye. She made a quilt with a lot of visual interest.
That is absolutely stunning...It has that wow factor.

I love the quilt. It is absolutely beautiful!
They'll love it.
A special quilt, moreso for the all the thoughts that are wrapped up in it. Well done for another step towards conquering brown (am with you there) and thinking of you when you hand this over to Kim's parents as that is going to be a pretty emotional time. Ciao
Wow! Kim's family is going to be thrilled!! Good for you for taking on this project...even though it was difficult!
Take care!

What an awesome project. Her parents will be thrilled, but I bet they might be keeping this close to their hearts rather than giving it away. So very much love in that special quilt!!!
Krista,
This would have been a very challenging project- I am sure Kim would have loved how you finished it for her- I am sure many tears will be shed when this quilt is presented to its new owners.
Thanks for sharing this gift of love and remembrance.
Regards,
Anna

I love that you made this on Kim's behalf... but yes it would be emotional!
But thank you Krista. The right thing to do indeed. (and it's beautiful too)
