One of my sweet friends, Mary (over at Quilt Hollow), recently sent me a little quilt that she knew I would enjoy. She told us about the quilt here, but I had no idea that she made the quilt for me. It was such a surprise to open the package and find this adorable little quilt with most perfect quilting! To give you an idea of how tiny the little blocks are, the entire quilt is 18" x 20". The broken dishes blocks are only 2 1/4 inches! And the buttons are microscopic!
Pardon the pins -- I'm still auditioning for the perfect place to put it. Right now I'm thinking it may be a wallhanging.

Isn't it adorable? I love the quilted flower motifs in the pieced blocks and background blocks. She always does such amazing work. If you haven't visited her blog, you'll definitely want to do that. She shares so many projects of her own, as well as a lot of her customers' quilts. You'll enjoy the inspirational pictures!
Thank you so much, Mary. I love the quilt and will always enjoy and treasure it.
I hope all of you have a special Thanksgiving.

I hope you have a great Thanksgiving. It's not celebrated here in the UK, but I'll be thinking of all my US bloggy friends on Thursday.
what a lovely wee quilt and the quilting is great too. What a wonderful and generous surprise.
The quilt is wonderful but the sentiment is what is so touching! Blogging makes the world a little smaller.
