Graduation Quilt

 Today I'll be working on a gift quilt... it's for a special family member that will be graduating this month. I have the top 80% done. Just have to finish up the sashing and add a border, then start quilting this. I'm using the fabrics pictured above because she likes purples and (I think) aquas.
Below is a picture I snapped from the front porch last night... it was getting really cool and foggy after a fairly nice warm day. Al was out working in the garage and I was sewing and baking some cookies. The lilacs and crabapples are all in bloom and it smells wonderful outside.

What a gorgeous collection of fabrics! Wonderful quilt and if she doesn't like it, you can send it to me. We no longer have crabapples - last storm took the last tree. They do have a wonderful smell!
