Finished quilting mom's charity quilt

My mom is at the stage where she realizes she has a lot of fabric and may not be able to use it up in her lifetime.  So she is challenging herself to only use her stash, or at least the majority from her stash.  This quilt was completely from her stash and used a bunch of her scraps too!


She did a whole lot of four-patches from her already cut blocks a while ago and is still trying to use them up.  These four-patches were put on a diagonal with alternating light blue blocks.  The perimeter half blocks and the corner blocks were done in a darker blue colour than the centre blocks.  I think this effect is nice, it kind of frames the centre blocks and created the first border.

The last border is hard to make out, but it has mini daisies all over it, so I quilted this quilt with an edge-to-edge Apricot Daisies pantograph.

It turned out lovely.
