Murphy Quilt

Last August my sister's sister-in-law contacted me asking if I'd make a quilt for her.  She had 24 beautiful hand embroidered rose blocks that she had done and did not know what to do with them from there.  We agreed on price and terms.  She left it entirely up to me to design the quilt top, purchase fabric and supplies, machine quilt, and finish a queen size quilt from her blocks.  I have slowly worked on it and finally got it finished last week.  I ended up spending 8 hours sewing the quilt top, 3 hours making 2 throw pillows from the extra blocks and 2 pillow cases, 7 1/2 hours quilting, and 8 hours hand sewing the binding.  Over all, I really like how it all turned out.  I have called Mrs. M to let her know her quilt is completed.  I hope she will like it.  This is the first quilt I have been hired to make and am a little nervous about her reaction.
