    Default Need a suggestion for a quilt

    I'm in search of a pattern for a wedding quilt, the bride is from the Slovic region
    while the husband is from the USA. She says she likes beiges and tans. They are having a black and white wedding.
    Any suggestions for a wedding quilt pattern??

    How about a double wedding ring, with the rings in an assortment of the beiges and tans with a few being metallics on a TOT white background?

    A classic that would be simply elegant!

    How about the Labyrinth pattern? It has always reminded me of the inter joining of people and thoughts.

    Celtic Knot might be a nice one for this color palate....

    You mentioned that the bride is Slavic, and growing up in the former Yugoslavia (also a Slavic country), I have never seen a quilt. I got hooked on them first time I saw them when I moved to Canada. I was amazed by their beauty and craftsmanship. Whatever you make she is going to like it. Do a pattern that you feel would be the best. Good luck!

    The first thing that came to mind for me was Moda's "Little Black Dress" line of fabric. Very classic prints, herringbone, dots, florals, etc, in blacks, tans, grays, and creams -- gorgeous!
