So, here it is. Thanks to all for the suggestions. It is a 66" square and now I know why I don't quilt large quilts. My throat plate just isn't big enough. Thank goodness for the walking foot. I couldn't start from too many spots in the middle because all the bulk wouldn't fit. What a pain! But it is done except for the label. I also embroidered their names in one of the corners. I hope that they like it!

I love this pattern. It comes together very quick. I think I might make a few baby quilts with it.

It's lovely. I am sure the Happy Couple will be delighted.

It's beautiful!! Love the way you did their names too!

It was difficult centering with his name being so short. I could have gone Robert & Deborah, but they don't use those....

:lol: :lol: I probably would have put "Bob & Deb" -- even if she doesn't go by that name just to keep it simple. But then your new "aunt" may not have been too pleased if she hates that nickname :roll: :roll:

That is one pretty quilt!!! I love the shades of blue in it, and the embroidery looks fabulous. What a special gift. I know they will treasure it!

Yeah, that would have been easier, but she isn't really a "deb"!

The fabrics you chose were great! Nice quilt .. worth all the effort you put in to get it quilted, for sure!
They are going to just throw a fit over this quilt. You wait and see.

Nice work. Love the colors! :lol:

Looks great. I am quilting a Warm Wishes quilt right now too. It is a fast and easy pattern!!

Very nice. Your uncle and new auntie will love it. :D

It is beautiful!!! Great job on it!!! :D :D :D

Beautiful quilt, and your embroidery is beautiful too!! :D

Very pretty! I love the quilting on this one, it really stands out, nice work!

It's very pretty. I'm sure they will love it.

It is very lovely done .you did a great job.

the wedding was this past Saturday. I had her open it right before I left because my favorite part in giving a quilt is seeing the person's face when they see it. She of course loved it. She was excited to get a "melissa quilt" because we have been to other functions where I have given gifts. She also said that blue was her favorite color, so I did an excellent job. she cried too!

Did you get pictures?? We wanna see :D :D :D

(And why wouldn't she just love it? It's gorgeous!)

Great gift and love the color.

I didn't think to get a picture of her with the quilt. I will when I see them next.

The Warm Wishes pattern has really grown on me, since seeing so many different ways to put it together. I love yours!
I see this pattern in my not so far off future,
in many color combinations! :P

Marti Michell, has a great book on quilting in sections...which you may already know, kathleen. There are at least six different ways in her book.
I also have a book called, Divide and Conquer, that is great. It has some applique patterns in it, which I just love.
Sectioning is so much easier than fighting with a whole quilt, isn't it. :D

aww, I love to hear, 'the follow up, story, that goes with gift giving', thanks, Melissa! :D

These colors are absolutely beautiful. I love the pattern.
