I need your help...

I designed this quilt with special quilt blocks in mind. Like I said, my dear sister has me hooked on Carrie's schnibble patterns and I decided to start off with her Full House" pattern block. I chose this block because my dear friend Janet has the biggest heart and open door to all she knows.... her house is always full and she loves every minute of it. Secondly I chose Mon Ami " My Friend" and that she is! I was quick to decide that these little friendship star blocks would have to be apart of this quilt. Now I knew I needed more than just this for my lap quilt or it would only cover her to the knees. Winter white was my very first schnibbles purchase because I just love "Flying Geese" and I got thinking one day of what this pattern block represents and I knew I needed to look no further I had my last block pattern in mind. You see, Janet and I are both "Snowbirds" and travel south to Phoenix in the winter ...just like our Canadian geese. So how fitting, eh. So there it is my quilt top...very ready and waiting now to be sandwiched together and stitched with love for a very special friend


I'm sure you are probably wondering why I titled this blog " I need your help" well I do! This is the very first quilt I can actually say I designed and I think it is only fitting that I give this quilt a name....hmmmm
 
HELP!

  3. Love overflows and joy never ends, in a home that is blessed with family and friends.
    This might be a nice quote for a label...
    As far as a name for your pattern combination...how about "Between Friends"

  10. The first thing that popped into my mind is the Danish Proverb - "The road to a friend's house is never long." But I'm not sure about any of the possibilities that come from that.

    I think Wendy has the best suggestion - Between Friends. I like that a lot. :)

  11. thank you to everyone for your kind words and idea's...The more I think about this quilt and whom it was made for I have decided to go with "between Friends" I should let you all know the name of our guild is "Between Friends" so that even makes it more special.

    thanx again!
