54-40 or Fight wedding quilt
 

This is a 67 x 83 inch quilt I made for my nephew and his fiance’. They wanted their wedding colors of gray, burgundy and burnt orange. When I had the top finished just 7 weeks ago, my 25-year-old nephew was diagnosed with a fast-growing non-hodgkins lymphoma stemming from a kidney transplant 10 years ago. He underwent major surgery and is continuing chemo. Their October wedding has now been pushed to May 2020. It was difficult to work on the quilt because of such worry and sadness for him. I intend to enter it in our county fair and gift it to them in October so they can use it this winter since it has a heavy flannel on back. The 4 angels I appliqued in the corners will hopefully watch over them while they continue this cancer journey. Life sure can throw curve balls!

What a beautiful, meaningful, lovely quilt. I'm happy you are gifting it early. The colors and precise piecing are so well done. I'm sure it will be appreciated.

I am so sorry to hear of your nephew's diagnosis. It is a beautiful quilt and so bold for this time in his life. Onward, and fight the fight!

Prayer's for him and family. Thanks for sharing such gorgeous quilt.

that is wonderful and the border is spectacular!!!

That’s a gorgeous quilt. I love that pattern. It’s so sad about your nephew.

Amazing quilt!!! Love the piping in the borders. Prayers for your nephew in his fight.

That quilt is fabulous!!!!!! I love everything about it.
So sorry to hear of your nephew's illness. It's bad enough when a person is older but for one so young it's just not fair. I wish him all the best.

What a beautiful quilt! I love it.

Wow! Beautiful! Your border is amazing

This is a priceless gift of love. Such a beautiful quilt. I am sure it will be treasured during his chemo.

What a beautiful quilt, prayers for a complete recovery for your nephew.

Fabulous quilt. I am completely fascinated and enamored by the border treatment. The scalloped/curved unit is lovely and is that a piping in there? Can you elaborate how you did the border? I am thinking you pieced that scalloped unit together with the piping in the seam, much like a flange. The whole border gives a wow factor to the quilt.

Prayers for your nephew as well. I think it is a very good idea to gift them the quilt early. They are sure to feel the love, warmth and healing prayers you put into it.

That quilt is awesome! When I first read the colors - I thought - weeeellll - that should be "interesting" - but it looks great.

Wishing your nephew and his fiance well.

The angels are a nice touch - their design blends perfectly with the rest of the quilt.

Wow, very impressive!

Your quilt is beautiful! I love the color combination.

Beautiful quilt! Thoughts and prayers coming your way.

This is a beautiful quilt. It makes me want to make this for my two children's beds. Sending my love and hugs that all goes well for your nephew and fiance. Such a heart breaker for all. God Bless All.

What a beautiful quilt. So sorry to hear about your nephew's cancer diagnosis.
