Each dress and bonnet is beautifully coordinated and you can imagine the maker selecting just the right combinations. Not surprisingly, there appears to have been a little 'make do' in it as well. If you look closely, the floral print in the bonnet differs every so slightly from the rest of the dress and the parasol.
It's been fun to pick our favourites - this gal in blue is mine.After adding a few defining line to the skirts and umbrellas the bulk of the stitching is crosshatching. This is the block that I worked on this past Friday.With any luck it will be wrapped up by the end of this week. Our hope is to get it bound in time for Easter weekend so that it can be given back to her daughter as a memento of both her mother and grandmother. She doesn't know that it's coming, which will make it doubly special....M

This is such a special quilt and it is wonderful of your group to finish it for your friend's daughter. She will appreciate your kindness and think of you all, as well as her mother and grandmother every time she looks at the quilt.
Truly a sentimental quilt! What a lovely memento you are creating for her family, and the time spent with friends while working on it is a gift.
Very special. Wow.
