Swoon like variation for DGD's wedding
 
2 Attachment(s)
I made this quilt for my granddaughters wedding last month. I asked her which colors she'd like, she said "cream, gold, light brown and various shades of green" Now that's what I like, no guessing!

This pattern was a free tutorial at www.doublenickelquilts.blogspot.com. I couldn't get the link for the exact page to work, just search the blog for scrappy nickel dutch rose. I like the size of these blocks, 16 inches, and she came up with some brilliant changes that eliminated several seams. I also like the secondary pattern that emerged with the addition of sashing and cornerstones. The bride and groom were happy too!

Oh my is that gorgeous. The quilting, that feathered border, oh what a treat to see

I love it!! I have been admiring the swoon block for a long time and really do want to make it. I love it done in these colors. And I couldn't agree more with Deb, your feathered border has such motion and is so well done. Definitely a delicious hunk 'o eye candy.
