December 2011 marked the 55th anniversary for my Grandparents. I was very excited for them, and wanted to do something special for them, so I decided to make them a quilt. I ended up making them a Family Tree quilt with all their kids (medallions), grand kids (leaves) and great grandchildren (leaves) at the time of their anniversary on it.
Sadly I was unable to finish it for their actual anniversary, but I did show them the top which was finished. They loved it.
Now I have it quilted (I love how the tree shows on the back with the quilting), bound and sent off. It arrived yesterday just in time for the snowstorm! I hope it is keeping them warm in all the snow.
I would like to thank my very talented friend Iza for drawing the tree for me - it was perfect.

Thank you! It was my first attempt at a an applique quilt, and I am thrilled with how it turned out.
