The last several weeks I have been working on a wedding quilt for my niece, April. I finally finished just minutes before I left for the airport to attend the wedding in Las Vegas (my hometown). The wedding was last Saturday and everything was beautiful.
Her colors were blue and salmon so I picked several blue prints and designed an elongated monkey wrench block. I didn’t want the quilt to be too “girly” so I just adding a touch of salmon in the corners of the blocks.
The few salmon blocks I did make became part of the pieced back.
I quilted it with several different designs in the blocks and traditional freehand feathers in the borders.
I presented it to the happy couple a couple of days before the main event. They seem very pleased with the results!
April and Brandon on their wedding day, August 17, 2013. Best wishes to the happy couple! I know they will appreciate the quilt and that makes it all worth it.
Beautiful all the way around!
