I made one as a wedding gift for my son, however, she called off the wedding one month before it was to take place. After some time had passed I asked him if he still wanted it and he said no, as well as my DD; and I certainly didn't want the memories associated with making it. When my DH was laid off and we needed any extra money we could get, my church bought it as a raffle quilt to raise money at the Holiday Fair. I believe it made over $1,000, so at least some good came out of it. I only SID as I'm still not good at FMQ, so don't know if that helps or not.

It was the first quilt I did for my daughter when she was born 26 years ago. I admit that I tied it and I have kept it for her first child someday. She is getting married this June so maybe I won't have to keep it too much longer.

Am I mistaken or is this the same pattern also known as Hidden Wells only made with fewer fabrics?

I just made this for my DD in blues and yellows. It was quilted with hearts as it was my DD's 20th wedding anniversary.
