Wedding quilt

We've been to Auckland to celebrate our nephew's wedding.
A bit late in the piece, I decided I wanted to make them a wedding quilt. Shared the fabrics with you a few weeks ago - a tight deadline but I made it.

Including a homemade card

with appropriate words inside

I am always amazed to see how the quilt changes through the different processes. This block shows the difference of part just basted down (I used 505 basting spray) and the other part appliqued

I really had fun with the quilting

This is my take on a design by Donna Ward - check it out here if you want to make your own variation.

Wishing the lovely couple every happiness for their future together
