  Thanks everyone for the lovely comments. Yes my son does love it. He calls it his love blanket . And I do think it makes him feel better to have it. He is doing so much better since the doctors now are doing more to ease his pain and help him sleep at night. Thats a wonderful thing.
  
  This was the first time I did any free style quilting on a regular machine. I have used my machine on the quilting frame downstairs to do some stipple quilting but thats just moving the table not the quilt.
  
  I used colored thread on the top and used it to add highlights. One of my quilting friends who I showed it to when I got home said the type of quilting is called, painting with thread. Whatever its called it sure is effective. I will do it again for sure.
  
  Now I just have to find the time to make one for my poor neglected husband.
  
  Hugs, Anna
