Wedding Quilt and !! Finished ( or not) Friday!

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 :



Their Favorite color was Maroon, and she also liked sage green - I thought that was a great color combination!! Of course - you just have to incorporate some plaid in there, and maybe even a paisley or two!


I didn't know if the weather was going to like me or not to get an outdoor photo - so I took one inside too. I like the layout that I came up with. There is a Random Pattern to it 😊


I quilted Feathers all over it. Those are just my favorite!!

AND of course - backed it with PLAID!


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!

  9. 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.
