This is a quilt I made for my DH's favorite neice's wedding. I started last November before my shoulder surgery and finished in January '11. Today we finally get to give the newlyweds their quilt. Her wedding colours were black/white/cream, which I didn't know at the time, as they got married in Costa Rica in January, so, I guess it was just luck I decided on these colours. The pattern is just various star blocks I got off the internet and then I used Eleanor Burn's Starry Nights sashing using the stars. I don't know what the colour scheme for her bedroom is, so, I really hope she likes it. For the label, I scanned the wedding invitation into my computer and then printed it on fabric using freezer paper.

Turned out great!! Love the label.

I love the quilt and will steal your label idea for the quilt I made my sister for her wedding this july!!

Very striking. Beautiful work.

black, gray and white are my favorite, love the patterns also. great job.

It looks fantastic, and should go with any color she has in her bedroom I think.

You did a great job on that quilt and I love the idea of scanning the wedding announcement as the label.
