Carolyn is my eldest niece and she is graduating from nursing school tomorrow (I had time to spare!). My sister suggested that we make her a quilt as a gift- we means that she funded the effort I constructed it.
At first I wanted to make a novelty type quilt but I couldn't find any fabric that I loved. Then I saw this quilt and loved it (you'll need to scroll down), but I thought that I should move past simple patchwork squares. What the hell was I thinking? I could have been done with this 2 weeks ago if I only stopped thinking.
I remembered how much I loved this pattern and thought it would look nice in the other colors. I had to adjust the size because Carolyn doesn't need a crip size quilt...... that meant that there would be math..... I hate math but I worked it out. I took 2 days off from work this week to get my house cleaned and take care of last minute shopping and baking, um that didn't happen.
So here it is, a nice enough quilt made with lots of love:

Pooh pooh on it not being one of your best! You should be proud of your handiwork! It's gorgeous, and your niece is gonna love it! I love your quilts. Someday, I might be inspired to make one...and I'll know who to ask for advice :)
