I decided to highlight this Tie-Dyed quilt, because it was one of my favorites and also one of my most challenging to date. The full background story and who it went to can be found here, but in short - it was made for a Christmas exchange called "Make My Christmas". We draw names and make something for the recipient.

The recipient LOVED this quilt! It personifies her personality completely. And I loved that she was so happy with it.

I love the tie-dye!The backing is really awesome!
What a fun quilt with the perfect backing. Isn't fun to make a quilt that just fits the new owner. Kudos

I dont think I've ever seen another tie dye quilt before. It's lovely. Im so glad the recipient was thrilled with it.

Wow, that is great. Do you think you'd ever make another quilt like this again? The back is so beautiful it really lends detail to the front, great job, and it's wonderful the person you gave it to loved it so much.
