Quilt for Mother's Day

 This was the last quilt I worked on before I quit quilting last year. I never blogged about it.  I really didn't feel like sewing while I was making this, but I slogged through it, forcing myself to sew one row a day.

I did not have enough of the original fabric to back this quilt, so I went to the quilt store looking for a blue that would look good with the fabric I had.  I found no blue that was close.  Instead, I found a fuchsia that would work.

I am glad I chose this color because the quilting shows up so well on it. Virginia Longarm did the quilting.

I first saw the OBW floral in the LQS where I was working.

I thought it would be perfect for a OBW, but at the time I had too many UFOs to justify buying more fabric.  I just watched it at the store when I worked.  I watched it for a couple of months, and then  someone bought all the fabric on the bolt.  A couple of months later, I went online to find it and bought enough (without my employee discount!) to make this quilt.  It will be a Mother's Day gift for my mom.
