I made this quilt for Katie G. and Jimmy as their wedding gift. It's a mismatch of a bunch of different prints from different designers. I got the scraps in the picture below off EBay and chose the other fabrics as I went along. The floral fabric did not make it to the final decision. It was thinner than the other fabrics and had a "dirty" tinge to it that was not working for me....
I quilted it using the free motion quilting technique. My favorite!
I cut my binding strips at 2.25 inches wide, sewed it to the front and hand stitched it to the back...........
I really like the gray, aqua and white together...
I used a darker shade of gray for the backing in this damask print....
This is how I took it to the wedding shower, no gift bag, no box. I folded it into thirds, rolled it tightly and tied it with a 2" white satin ribbon.....
One pretty quilt has a new home.......

ReplyDeleteLove it! That colour combination is very appealing. :)
ReplyDeleteWonderful job! I like the colors and the quilting also. Wish it was for me... maybe I'll copy you and make one for myself. When I'll have the time, off course...
ReplyDeleteIt's so pretty! That is a fabulous combination of colors and I love the way you quilted it. I think you chose the perfect way to "wrap" it as well!
ReplyDeleteLovely quilt! And you solved the wrapping dilemma perfectly.
