Melissa's Quilt Finished


I finished this baby up a few days ago but wanted to share today for SEW & TELL. Go follow the link to see great projects!



This quilt is for my friend from New Jersey. She and I worked together in Misawa, Japan. Her hubby was deployed, mine was on 14 hour night shifts. So after work we would eat dinner together, pick out Christmas trees, Instant Message, and basically just keep each other sane. I honestly think if I hadn't had her I would have left my husband who I saw literally one day a week. I am grateful for her.
Its a great throw size, and I love the Micheal Miller Meadowsweet backing.
I free motion quilted it, and I think it turned out perfect.
