Quick Quarter Christmas Present

I started this in mid October and finished a week before Christmas. I used batiks for the entire quilt. She was looking for peach and chocolate, she helped select about 12 of the 25 fabrics. I added the small peach border making the quilt size slightly different.
104" x 116"

The only thing I decided I didn't love about this is that the "quarters" are the same size for full,queen and king, with borders making up the size different, which seems like "cheating to me" That and the quilt seemed a tad long to me. I did not "make" the bed in an effort to get as much of the quilt without creases.
I named it "diagonals of love" since my Mom has had a tough year.
