GrannyW5 entrusted her wedding quilt for her son to me. I sure hope I did it justice. GrannyW5 will have to chime in with the pattern name as I don't remember it. But it consists of curn dash blocks alternated with 54-40 or Fight star block variation. The result is a great interlocking circular illusion in the white fabric much like is achieved in so many other quilts that use the 54-40 or Fight star (like Tennesse Waltz, Bonnie Hunters Celtic Solstice and Emma's wedding quilt). GrannyW5 said she liked feathers which is great because I like doing feathers! I did feathers in the "circle" parts rotating the direction of the feathers to emphasize the circles. I used a stencil in the churn dash blocks called Hearts and flowers (what is a wedding without hearts and flowers?
) then I did curved cross hatch in the black squares and a rams horn swirl in the triangles coming off the square.
Glide thread in white was used and Hobbs polydown batting.
Here is the quilt before quilting

And the back which looks so pretty. Unfortunately most of my shots came out blurry, this was the least blurry
