Wedding Quilt for my Boss
 

This was a modern style quilt I designed and made for my boss and his wife. They were married on 5/19/12. The blocks represent that date and the quilting ... 'the big moon' was because their last name is Moon. It was done in their wedding colors. Fun to make. Well received. The Mrs loved the idea of the date being represented in the design.

Very cool.

What a lovely idea. wonderful quilt!!!

What a clean, subtle look! I'm not normally into modern quilts but I love, love, love this one! And the thought that went into it is so cool! No wonder your boss & the little woman loved it! Great job!!!

I like that a lot

very pretty...love the color combos...

What a nice idea and what a neat design - very custom-made just for two special people in your life -they'll enjoy that for years to come.

I usually don't much like modern quilts but this one is Beautiful!- Love the borders!

That's beautiful. Almost worth getting married for! (JK)

Awesome quilt!

Your border is excellent. Great colors and it could be a good scrappy too. Thanks for the border idea

lovely gift

Beautiful quilt and a clever and thoughtful design

What a clever idea and beautiful too!

That quilt is different in a good way=I really like it.

Very pretty, I'm glad they both like it.

So what did you hubby think? Mine thought it was a little plain for his taste... hee hee... but it wasn't his so he has nothing to worry about.

Thank you Rebecca. I tend to personally most of the quilts I give as gifts in one way or another. That's probably one of my favorite parts actually.

Well actually I had only been working for him for less than 2 months at the time they got married. And now 4 months into the job, I have still only seen him about 10 to 15 times. He doesn't come up to my office much. Just a lot of phone calls and emails.

Thank you. You are welcome to use that border on anything you wish...that I didn't design it actually is a "log cabin variation" border as it was called in my quilt program.

I want to thank you all for your positive encouragement and comments on this quilt. It was a design I debated on for a couple weeks before making it. After a lot of debate I decided to go with it and was very pleased with how it turned out. I can't help but wonder how many of you actually counted the blocks to see how they tied into the date. Funny thing is, I counted, recounted, quilted and still recounted them to make sure they were correct before giving them the quilt and even counted them again in the pictures a few times after I gave it to them....like I was some how going to find an extra or missing block that was going to have to be fixed if it came out to the wrong number.

Its done, out of my hands and I am on to finishing up the koi pond quilt now.
Happy Quilting!!

Nice quilts!

Your idea to incorporate the date in the design was inspiring. The quilt is gorgeous. Job well done!
I counted the blocks, not to see if you got it right, but for the placement. I loved how you did it and it looks so perfect.

Thank you. I did it based on a grid. The black blocks are 3", gray 6", blue 9". And tried to place them evenally throughout the quilt while trying not to have too much white space in any one area. Drawing it on an 8x11 piece of paper sure looks different than what it does finished. It looked too crowded but I was pleased with it in larger scale.

Great quilt...love the cat in the corner on the backing.
