A well-received quilt

This is the gift-quilt I wrote about last week. I didn't make it solo, but co-ordinated its creation (design, assemble, baste, partly quilt, partly bind and generally whipcrack the others so it got made on time!).

Isn't it lovely when someone who really needs a quilt receives one their friends have made, quite out of the blue? She likes watery pursuits, so the quilt's colours reflect that.

And even it's nicer when their first action is to wrap themselves in it.
