My cousin's daughter is getting married and I made this for the new couple. I finished it today just in time for the wedding this weekend.
DH wants me to go buy her a toaster and keep this quilt! :lol: He likes it that much!

It is inspired by her dishes-like the old Fiesta Ware only square, all bright colors with red being her main color. I only had to purchase the back and batting. The rest is all from my stash. The owner of a LQS talked me into the pieced binding. DH is taking the credit for that too-I thought it would be too much trouble. Pretty easy and I am glad I did it.

I hope they love it as much as DH :!:
