Remember my Cool Country Wedding I got to go to ? Well, of course I had to make them a quilt ! As soon as we were told of the engagement, I asked the couple what their favorite colors were . I assumed I would get two - but nope ! They have the same favorite color !!
So I asked for a second anyways... and this is what I came up with :
In my mind I was making this about 80 inches long. But then I remembered that he is a tall one!! so I made it longer - 91 inches! Enough to cover his feet!!
Now here's the best part. I didn't take their gift to the wedding, I thought I'll just meet up with them after. And so I did, but when I pulled it out - she said - He was looking for your gift!! He just knew you had to have made us something, and was sad to not see something in the pile. His Mom told him not to worry - I was probably just going to deliver it. Which TOTALLY made me laugh - as I thought I was keeping a secret..... That means they know me too well right?
Anyways - they loved it and it made me happy. All is right in my world!

great layout for the churndashes
That turned out beautifully! I love the churn dash distribution, and the colors/prints are so cozy. Love that he was looking for a quilt - so sweet!
Love the wedding quilt! That’s got to make you feel good when the groom is looking for the quilt!
WOW!! This is a great quilt and one that is sure to be treasured for years.
Wonderful wedding present and great design. I love those feathers also.
Gorgeous quilt, great story and lucky recipients!
Wow, what a present for their wedding! Just a beautiful quilt!
Beautiful, I love the randomness of the churns and that there are big and small churn dashes.
What a lucky couple. I love the layout. The churndash/monkey wrench block gives a nod to the wedding ring block, so is perfect for the occasion. Like you, I never tire of feathers, particularly meandering ones. The perfect country quilt.
I have never met a Churn Dash that I did not like! I love it, Alycia. Beautiful quilting as well. Have a great weekend. Hugs.
What a great wedding gift! And you finished it before the wedding, that's a real accomplishment.
What a nice quilt, and and wonderful story to go with it! Yes, I guess they know you all right!
Love it!
I love this quilt. The colors are fantastic together and your layout is wonderful. I might have to save this for an idea. I love making churn dashes. Great job.
They are one lucky couple! It is a beauty and the color scheme is a fun one! I love the story of the groom looking for the gift; they do know you too well.
That quilt is beautiful! I always love churn dash quilts.
