    Default Her Wedding Quilt is only 1 year Late

    That's not my fault. I couldn't get my step daughter to choose a design. She is a very modern graphic designer and artist in her own right so I knew it had to be different and not "right out the box."
    After touring some art museums last summer I used my EQ6 and drew up a design akin to a Mondrian painting. She loved it. So we were away to races, FINALLY. Her wedding had been held in Costa Rica and her colours were tropical, lime green and teal, so I did my best to duplicate that feeling. I included a drawing of the quilting pattern that is superimposed over the graphic. Enjoy. I have a hard time getting photos of whole quilts in my house.

    One of the most phenomenal quilts I've seen! You could consider entering it in your state quit show and any of the national shows, especially the Modern Quilt Guild show.
