It’s SO done! After a weekend and a few extra days of relaxing after our friend’s wedding, I’m finally ready to show off the pictures of the latest wedding quilt. I’ve had a hard time not really talking about this quilt much over the last year (since it took so much work to make!). It came down to the wire (yep, I’m a procrastinator!) but I finished it up last Thursday night and had it ready to pass along to them on Friday at their rehearsal dinner.
I did mangage to squeeze in a photo shoot before I packaged it up!
It’s amazing how different it looks to me when it’s open and not right in front of my face. I really didn’t get the full effect until I had it all done and could look at it from far away.
I put a patch on the back like I have for the last three quilts I’ve done. It looks about the same as the others!
I realized when I got home that my camera did not take very good pictures of Laura and Steve opening their quilt in the dark restaurant. So here’s the best I can do for now though:
It’s such a big relief to have it done. Enjoy it, Laura and Steve! 🙂
Very nice, indeed!

That is beautiful! What lucky friends to get such an amazing handmade quilt as a gift. I am still in awe of all the hand piecing too!
The colors you used are great together. I’m sure your friends loved the quilt.
Too bad there aren’t handmade quilts for each of your fellow bridesmaids 🙂 I love the quilt & was really glad to get to see it in person last week. (Can you believe it has been nearly a week already since all of that?)
It sparkles! That’s gorgeous. Congratulations on a great finish.
Your friends are so lucky to have such a beautiful gift. I love the colors the jewel tones just sparkle…Hugs
OMG that’s amazing!! I SO admire the grit it must have taken to finish such a HUGE project!
