I just finished a lap quilt top for Jenny for a graduation present. She loves all things purple, so I was able to gather enough 5" squares, cut them in half diagonally and match them to a white triangle. I added a 5" wide swirly purple border. I am now on the pursuit to find a purple and white stripe to bind it with, after I quilt it. I've got about a week and a half until she graduates. Wish me luck!
It's easy to get the hubs to hold up a quilt for a picture if I guarantee he isn't in the shot. Thanks hunny! This lap quilt is approximately 47" by 70" (not including binding). By now you may be saying to yourself..."what's with the last row on the right?" It's actually a happy mistake. I sewed it on upside down making my geese fly backwards. I just couldn't imagine taking out the stitching again (not my first oops) so I left it, and convinced myself that it was meant to be. And it
kinda works for me. Jenny will love it anyway. I don't think I've ever actually created a
perfect quilt ever. Note to self...add perfect quilt to my list of "Future Quilts I Want To Do". I'll post the finished quilt when I've quilted it. Have a blessed week! ~Brenda

I just love your 'happy mistake'! I am a huge fan of the unexpected in quilts. Purple is my favorite color too, the quilt is beautiful!!
