blood sweat and a few tears

I made this quilt for a friend who recently moved. Because it was a surprise, I couldn't post it till now. What is not shown on the picture is that each of the white pieces of fabric were signed by friends who will l miss her and her family.

The yellow "sun" circle says,"may the sunlight of faith ever warm your heart" -Gordon B. Hinckley-

The best part of the project is the tear of gratitude my friend gave to me. It's that sort of feeling that makes the time and effort of quilting worth it!
