the Diamond quilt . . .

I finished off the diamond quilt this week and gave it to the very special someone, my Oma. She has made so many beautiful knitted and crocheted projects for me over the years, and never complains when I send another pattern and more yarn her way. All of my children have 'Oma sweaters' for church, and she just recently made a beautiful Shalom sweater for me and a smaller version for Elayna. While making this quilt, I thought of her often, and all the times she put so much work into something for me.

Linking up to Confessions of a Fabric Addict, Fresh Sewing Day and Fabric Tuesday.

I'm tearing up a little here, Rebecca. The quilt turned out beautifully and I can see that she was touched. I saw her in church on Sunday... will she be here much longer?

I'm sure she'll cherish that quilt as much as you cherish the knitting/crochet she does for you. <3 The best gifts are the ones that show our love.

Making something for someone who has shown you so much love and giving, and then returning it to her would be enough to make this quilt beautiful - but it is gorgeous in its own right.

That is an amazing quilt - and obviously given to someone amazing. Did it really only take you a month to do (your post at the end of March shows you starting it?)
