Make Do Memories Miniature Quilt Challenge
Finally I have finished the Make Do Memories Miniature Quilt. I am a last minute person, I can never finish until the last minute. I had been planning and thinking a lot when I finally took the plunge and finished. What I wanted to show with the quilt was friendship amongst quilters all over the world. The hexagon flower in the center represents Lyn and the stitchery lines from there to the corners are how the flowers flew around the world landing in 7 different countries. I stitched the names of all the countries into the hexagons in the corners (all in Icelandic). In the corner where Iceland is stitched I also put the name of the quilt in Icelandic "Vináttugarður Lyn" which means "Lyn´s friendshipgarden" This was so much fun and I want to thank Lyn for giving me the opportunity to take part.

Kjempe flott ble quilten din;-) Spesielt artig når quilten har vært sendt rundt.
Har tenkt på deg i det siste når infoen om alt som skjer på island har vært fokus på tv.
Ønsker deg en fin og kreativ vår

Last minute is good -it's how I work too lol ! What a great idea you came up with and the finished quilt is really lovely xxx
Last minute seems to be the norm for most of us. Your quilt is beautiful. Hexagons are so much work but they make such a lovely quilt.
It looks lovely. I like the way you connect the different countries of the participants.
Beautiful! Very creative, Gudrun.

Oh Gudrun ..... this is lovely!! You always add such interesting touches to your quilts!
I love what you did with your Hexagon Quilt! Such a very good idea, to 'put' Lyn in the middle and then show where all the blocks went to and how friendship in blogland works.
Congratulations!!!
Have a lovely weekend.
Love your friendship garden!
