    Default 1st block of a wedding quilt gift

    Danni one of my group at the local hall has decided she wants to make a quilt for one of best friend's as a wedding gift, the happy couple are mad on piggies so I chose, with her experience in mind, the Antique Tile block, from Quilters Cache, with a piggy in the middle LOL

    BTW This is the pupil that before last September had never ever touched a sewing machine, well look at those points!

    Each block will have oranges on a pure White n White background, with a different piggy in the middle. I will be doing the quilting for her as it will be about 4' x 5' and she doesn't feel experienced enough yet, but she will before much longer at the rate she is going.

    That batik is beautiful, and so is the block. Do you know the name of the fabric in the batik? Love those colors.
