A Beautiful Quilt
Several months ago I sent a package of fabric to my gramma to make a quilt.
She just sent it back to me- isn’t it gorgeous? I am in love!
I thought I had a pretty solid idea of how the quilt would look, seeing as how I chose the material and Gramma sent me a block before she put them all together, but I was so unprepared for how gorgeous it was going to be finished and quilted. I opened the box and just kept saying, “Oh! Oh! Ohhh! Ohhhhh!”
Chris looked at me as if I had lost it and asked, “Are you going to have an orgasm over a quilt?”
“Yes, I just might!”
So there you go- my orgasmically stunning quilt! Made by my Gramma, who is better than your Gramma (unless of course you are my cousin reading this (Hi!) then you know we share in the coolness of the world’s best Gramma ever).
Wow! Can I have your grandma? It’s absolutely gorgeous!

That is JUST beautiful, my mom makes quilts and she has made one for each of my siblings (7) and now makes for her grandkids (20) when the graduate… my daughter got hers early though (7) because she made her a horse quilt to go with her room! but I will be sure to show her this one because I too love the blocks!!

…you lucky lucky girl, what a lovely thing to receive after all the sucky allergy stuff..I have a Nonna, (Italian) who knits the most incredible and ornate tablecloths with 5 (!) knitting needles all at THE SAME TIME!!! It really is a sight to behold.

Beautiful! I’ve helped piece and tie some quilts (including the one that’s on our bed right now) but I don’t seem to be related to anyone who actually *quilts* quilts. I’d like to learn how to do that.

That is a stunning quilt! I love the fabric you chose, but I realllly love the quilting itself with the beautiful swirls and the leafy shape. Your Gamma is super talented!

SO AMAZING. So, so beautiful. First of all, your impeccable color sense comes through again—but second, look at that quilting!! Amazing. I’m just now learning to quilt—I hope that by the time I’m a gramma I’ll be able to quilt like that!
