...I'm thankful that this pile of 72 album blocks, is finally a quilt top!
The pattern is called Friendship Album designed by Jo Morton and was published in American Patchwork and Quilting Magazine the October 2009 issue. I pieced it for a customer, but my husband and I have really taken a shine to it (doesn't it look great on my bed?), so I think there are some more album blocks at some point in my future :)
Now I can take a little break from the sewing machine and start baking and getting the house ready for the family coming for the holiday weekend, and I'm thankful for that too!
Have a wonderful and safe Thanksgiving weekend and Enjoy the day!

Beautiful. Congratulations.
I think you do need to make that quilt for your bed Dawn! It's awesome. I've never counted the number of pieces in a quilt - how interesting.
It's just beautiful...and it really does look like it belongs right there in your room!
Oh...and I often count pieces in a quilt...thought I was the only one!
Wow what a beauty. I will have to see if I have a copy of Oct 09 AP&Q.
This really is wonderful! Congrats on getting it done.
what a nice job you did on the quilt...I love the colors
It's just beautiful! It looks wonderful on your bed! Hope you have a very Happy Thanksgiving.
Hi Dawn, The quilt you did for your customer is simply gorgeous! You did a wonderful job with it. It does work well on your bed. This one must be hard for you to give up to your customer.:0)
Wishing you and your family a happy Thanksgiving!!
I absolutely LOVE this quilt and YES, you need to make one for yourself. Gotta love me some Jo fabrics.
Dawn - congrats on finishing the blocks/top~ It is a beautiful quilt and I can certainly understand why it would inspire you to make one for your home. Just love the fabric~ Amy R
Absolutely beautiful! HUGS... and stitches
Dawn, I love that quilt! The pile of blocks is pretty impressive, too. The album pattern is one of my all-time favorites. I have tried it myself so I can appreicate the amount of work that went into a top that big. I always have trouble getting the fabrics to line up correctly. Mine keep getting a little off-center.
