Wedding Gift
 
1 Attachment(s)
This is a quilt that I made with its purpose to be used as a tablecloth. I made napkins to go with it and appliquéd a smaller version of the flower that is appliqued on the quilt on each corner. It was given as a wedding gift to my nephew and his bride last Saturday. I made an error in cutting the corners and reached out to QB members for fabric to replace my "goof". I want to thank Northquilter again for "saving the day". I haven't heard yet if they liked my gift but hope that they did. When I preview this I notice the picture is sideways. I don't know how to correct that.

Of course they like it. They love it I bet. It is real pretty. I never heard of using a quilt as a table cloth. Did you tell them what it is for? I think I would if I made this so they will now what to do with it. I think this is just so beautiful. I like the colour choices and the napkins that coordinate are great. Nice job!

Thank you. I have used quilts as tablecloths for years. They hang really nice. My first one was a quilt I made for Thanksgiving and at the time was a bit nervous about using it. I teased everyone and told them if they spilled and it stained I was going to embroider their name by the stain. No stains yet. I also make coasters to match to catch drips from glasses.

ibc, the way to turn a picture is as follows: Right click on the picture - see the little round dots at the corners - see the squares top, bottom and sides. Look at the square at the top of the picture - see the little green dot above the square. Left click and hold on the green dot. While holding the mouse button down, move the mouse until the picture is upright.

That's a happy quilt! Perfect for the newlyweds.

I have a Mac and no right click feature. I'll try to just click on it if it happens again. Someone from QB must have fixed it. Thanks for input.

Very pretty and looks very nice with your table and chairs, it would be hard to give away.

What a nice gift. Great colors and design and the perfect time of year to show it off. So glad you were able to find some help to finish this the way you wanted to.

That is really pretty.

Just Jan 06-05-2015 03:09 PM

Very pretty. What is the name of the pattern? At first look I thought it was "Goose Tracks" but now I don't think so. I love the pattern and also your choice of fabrics. All that's missing is a pitcher of fresh lemonade! Would love to know the pattern you used.

The pattern is Spinning Sun by Mari Martin for Connecting Threads. Glad you liked it.
