My cousin's daughter is getting married and I made this for the new couple. I finished it today just in time for the wedding this weekend.
DH wants me to go buy her a toaster and keep this quilt! :lol: He likes it that much!

It is inspired by her dishes-like the old Fiesta Ware only square, all bright colors with red being her main color. I only had to purchase the back and batting. The rest is all from my stash. The owner of a LQS talked me into the pieced binding. DH is taking the credit for that too-I thought it would be too much trouble. Pretty easy and I am glad I did it.

I hope they love it as much as DH :!:

Love it and I'm sure they will too!! I like the binding in the different colors also. You did a great job on this.

Wow-what a beautiful quilt. And you reallly nailed the colors of the Fiesta Ware dishes. My sister has my mom's original Fiesta dishes (hmm-how'd that happen?) and she'd absolutely love that. Great job. Thanks for sharing the pictures.

Love it-so bright and festive.

Joan 11-03-2009 08:14 AM

Beautiful quilt---I love all of the colors and it does look like Fiesta!
What a special gift they will treasure!

littlehud 11-03-2009 09:03 AM

That is so pretty. I love the bright colors. Your binding is great.

billswife99 11-03-2009 11:45 AM

I would send the toaster too! That is just gorgeous, so now they can take a siesta on the fiesta quilt? :oops:

SharonC 11-03-2009 12:24 PM

What a beautiful quilt. Loooooooooove the pieced binding :)

Sallyjane 11-03-2009 01:39 PM

I love the quilt and can see why your husband wanted you to keep it! The colors are outstanding! I recently made a quilt and was going to give it to our niece for her wedding. My husband talked me out of it. He did not think she would appreciate all the hard work that went into it and thought it may not be her style. I kept it for us to enjoy and bought her something off of her gift registry. The funny thing is she visited recently and saw the quilt and went on and on about it!

Olivia's Grammy 11-03-2009 03:43 PM

I love the colors, they do look like the fiesta dishes. I really like the binding. I love to do scrappy binding. Every quilt I make my DH thinks it's for us and every quilt I make is pretty than the one before, according to him. He's a great supporter.

Thank you for all your kind comments!
I delivered to the bride's house yesterday so I should hear soon.
I took it to work first and to show my mom and dad-they all loved it.
Mom really liked it on her bed. Sure cheered up her room.
OH Dear! I may have to make a couple more. I'm thinking Christmas gifts........hmmm. Guess I need to check my stash and see what I can come up with.

mytwopals 11-04-2009 07:40 AM

Very nice. I like all the colors. :D

amma 11-05-2009 06:15 PM

What a perfect gift!!! I love it!!! Better sneak it into a box and get er wrapped up before DH lays claim to it :wink: :D :D :D

sewsewquilter 11-05-2009 07:49 PM

I'm in love. Great quilt.

Carol W 11-09-2009 06:37 AM

Love the colors!!!

2 Doods 11-09-2009 06:42 AM

Oh My Goodness! I have to tell you the wedding was yesterday and up until about a half an hour before the start of the wedding-DH was sooooo close to getting that quilt back. :wink: Nerves hit the bride and groom big time :!: But they got through it, so now I'll have to make DH his own :lol:

k3n 11-09-2009 07:35 AM

LOL 2doods - they probably went through with it just so they could get your beautiful quilt! :lol: :D

NewYearsOld 04-27-2010 07:21 PM

I'm glad someone else is looking in the older section, there are some wonderful quilts there.

Lovely quilt and I would also like the pattern.
