This one has been a long time in the making......................
the fabrics were received mostly here in a fat 1/4 swap.....way back in 2009.......I had asked for "soft and pretty" fat 1/4's...........
no idea when the blocks were started - it was a long time ago..................... but I put the blocks together into a quilt top back in the crazy christmas sewing blitz 2017 link here
I'm pretty sure the block name is a reflection of friendship but I cannot find the block and the name............
EDIT thankyou Jo for helping this is a whirl wind block
if anyone knows the name of the block it would be appreciated..........
I called the quilt Friendship Kisses........friendship swap of fabrics and the cross in the block is xoxo kiss hug so the x being the kiss...........
once again can't have too many quilt pics...............
want to join me for a cuppa anyone????
there plans for a quilt in the making of this design of the table top..........
soon as I saw it I thought of quilting and had to have it.........
The blocks came to a stand still as I was lost as to how I wanted to join them.............
But in the end I am really happy with the setting.........
Gorgeous quilting......can't remember who did this one.........
This one went to my Mum for Mothers Day on the weekend......

Lucky Mum! It is rather beautiful.
Isn't it fun to see these quilts that have been marinating for a long time finally get finished and go to a good home? This is a really pretty finish, Chooky. "Soft and pretty" describes it well.
I love the name as well as the quilt. A lovely lovely finish.
Another pretty quilt. I have used some of those fabrics and have the border fabric on a Christmas quilt I hang every year.
Brilliant - I wouldn't mind do this one - if you find out the name of the block, I'd love to know.. Love your artistic flare for the photo's too - I'm ready to have a cuppa with you..xx
Your Mum was a lucky girl to get such a pretty quilt.....a great finish, well done.
A pretty finish and lovely gift for your Mum.
The tumbling block design on the table will make a great quilt.
Very pretty quilt for your mum to snuggle under.
A lovely quilt... bet your Mum was pleased with it...

Wonderful settings for displaying your quilts. Love the gentle colours in this one and am inspired to make a Tilda quilt after seeing the previous post. Yes keep blogging alive!

Friendship Kisses is beautiful and such a lovely gift for your mum. Woohoo well done on another finish!
Wonderful quilt Donna and a sweet gift for your Mama! Isn't this a kind of whirligig block??
You are really on a roll! This one is so very sweet. I think I need to make a "quiet" quilt soon to calm down the craziness around here! Thanks for the inspiration!
so pretty and girly girly looking....keep on truckin'!
So pretty, and your photos of it are wonderful. No, you cannot have too many, LOL!! Great fabric out for our Stashbuster challenge!
It's lovely! Such a great feeling to finish a project in waiting. Cheers!
Gorgeous quilt. Lovely gift for your Mum. Hugs, xx
Lucky mum. Another beautiful finish.
Oh, so pretty and I love the border fabric! the hay bales is the perfect place for a photo shoot. Will we see some cows in future photos?
Doing very well - I love that table pattern too - definitely an EPP project!
Great finish, and wonderful present for your Mum.
