I love being able to gift one of my quilts to someone, and always hope they enjoy and use them.
My closest cousin had an important birthday this weekend, and I had made this quilt especially with her in mind. I'm so glad it arrived in the mail safely, and that she likes it.
The pattern was for the local Saturday Sampler program, designed by a local pattern designer (Knight on the Prairie) and called Stranded on the Prairie. It was designed with stranded knitting in mind, so I knew I had to make it for my cousin. She is a very talented knitter, and does a lot of stranded knitting. She and her husband are also talented gardeners, and she is calling it her Coleus Quilt because the colors match the massive coleus plant in their yard.
Happy birthday cuz!!

That's a beautiful quilt, Sara, and it really looks perfect for your cousin! I love how it goes with her gorgeous coleus. Did you pick the colors with that plant in mind?
That is so cool! It does have the same colour as her plant. Did you know that when you picked the colours of this quilt? It is just awesome! Love it. ;^)
I always hate the thought of getting a quilt in the mail - I have put off mailing two quilts because of that.
Beautiful quilt! Great colors!
What a beautiful quilt and so nice of her to send you her name for it and the pic with her coleus!!!!
It's always nice when a gifted quilt is appreciated. That one does match that coleus plant really well!
