My Early 56th Anniversary Quilt
 

My husband said I made quilts for others but had not made one for him and myself . So I decided I would try to make a quilt that would fit our bed. This was a challenge for me as I had not ever tried to make one this big lol. It is 114" X 100". Well this is how it turned out. My husband was very pleased with it so now I think I will try some pillow shams to match. I machine embroideries the plain squares and machined stitched the star blocks. Then hand quilted it. Kinda a proud of myself. 😊

Wow, that's a beautiful quilt, Chris.

Happy "Earley" Anniversary! The quilt is simply georgeous.

You have a right to be proud! That is a beautiful quilt!

Your quilt is gorgeous. I do love teal and the embroidery sets off the squares of solid fabric perfectly. Job well done.

You definitely need to be proud of yourself. Beautiful quilt and so beautifully done. Glad you hubby like it so much. I am sure he is so proud of you too. Happy Anniversary early.
