I bought six fat quarters to use for specific objects and books in my new POD quilt. I used up a bunch of my white-on-whites and silver-on-whites in my Grand Illusion mystery quilt and need fabric appropriate for Hedwig and the crystal ball.

I don't have any pictures of my current work, and I'm out of town today, so I can't get a picture of what I've been working on. But I try to put some sort of picture in every post, so here's my Tokyo Subway quilt. I finished it in 2011, but forgot to get a picture before I gave it away.
I've seen some discussion about quilters making quilts that aren't appreciated by their recipients. If you want to make sure your quilt is loved, give it to another quilter. My friend cried when I gave her this quilt. And when she left the country a year ago on vacation, she brought me her heirloom jewelry and gave me the quilt back to keep for her while she was gone.

What a neat pattern. The story behind it was touching. You are right, quilters know and appreciate all the work and thought that goes into a quilt.
It's a beautiful quilt and so colorful (a personal favorite). Hopefully all you bought will be going right back out since you have plans for all of it.
I have the Tokyo quilt on my list to make, someday. So glad that your friend appreciated her quilt. Makes gifting quilts so much more enjoyable.
This is a pretty cool quilt Laura and proof that you can find quilty inspiration everywhere! That is a really great story about your quilting friend!
Great quilt. When I hand quilt a quilt, I keep track of how many hours I spent hand quilting it. Then I tell the new owner how many hours it took, just for the hand quilting. That helps them to realize what a special gift that they have just been given.
