Quilt for Cousin - Q4 Finish

This is #6 on my 4th quarter finish-a-long goals.  I have a cousin who I don't see very often, but I have thought of her many times in the past few months.  She has been going through some tough times.  So when my sister, Karen, suggested that I make a quilt for her.  She even offered to help pay for the materials.  So I thought that was a fine idea.  And here it is, a quilt for my cousin:

I got the idea for this quilt when I saw this V and Co. one.  (I almost don't want you to click over there, because the original is much cuter!  ;))  I already had all the solids for this quilt on hand, so all I had to purchase was the backing and more white fabric.

I have been quilting many of my own quilts lately, but with Christmas fast approaching, I decided to send it out to be done.  I asked the quilter to do it with zig-zag lines following the diagonals of the blocks, similar to the original quilt.

The backing is some white and gray herringbone fabric.  I didn't have to piece the backing this time, so that helped me get it finished too.  I hope to mail this to my dear cousin soon.  I hope she will love it.  And more importantly, I hope she will know how much we love her!
