This beautiful quilt was made by my co-worker. It's her 4th quilt and she's a pro already! It's a lap size and the pattern she used is "Lasagna Quilt" by Terry Atkinson. It's a basic strip-quilting pattern. The strips are sewn together, off-set, and then the center block is surrounded with a border of more strips. I LOVE all of the bright colors and busy fabrics that she used. It's fun and happy! She backed it with velour which I really love! It's a great weight and makes it snuggly soft on the back. She quilted it on her sewing machine by stitching in the ditch in all of the long seams.
She made this for her grandmother who is 90 years old. A quilt is one of the most treasured gifts there is. Everytime her grandmother uses this quilt, she will be surrounded with the love of her granddaughter.

This quilt is darling! Do you know if cotton backing is better than other fabrics (like velour?) - I heard that cotton holds up better???
Love it! Those colors and patterns are great together, I am sure her grandma will love it.
