It's such a satisfying feeling to finally get a UFO Quilt finished, especially when it is designed with someone special in mind. Last year in November at Mrs. Miller's Cabin, I started a Jelly Roll Quilt for my dear, old friend Jan. Well she is not really old since she is my age, so let's rephrase that to "life-long friend" since high school.
Here is the beginning of the jelly roll quilt - That's it on the floor! It doesn't look like much yet.
Speaking of beginnings, here is a picture of Jan and me when we graduated from good old Bedford High School. Yes, that is the same high school that Halle Berry graduated from. I had to dig into the archives for this picture - by the way, it's amazing, but we look exactly the same!
A year flies by, and I finally finish the quilt. My tall son Adam held it up for a picture and I packed it up and shipped it off to Florida where Jan is now living - lucky girl!

Here it is in Florida. Jan said that she and Gypsy both love the quilt. I think the quilt is perfect for Gypsy and Jan!
