Wedding Present finished just in time!
 
1 Attachment(s)
Design is by Sue Daley - 'It Takes Two' the story behind this.... Friends of ours in South Africa - their daughter is getting married, I asked the mum what gift we could bring from here - horror , shock she said her daughter would love a quilt 2 days later the email arrived with her favorite colours - I have just finished and we leave in 2 days lol just struggling with the label of all things.
I don't understand why I have to do something I've never done before ie scalloped edges and a few other things! This is the quilt that had the pencil marks on it 2 days ago thanks to you all your help they've gone! I made place mats with the scraps for the parents - they didn't really turn out how I imaged!

Beautiful, I really like the scalloped edges. I don't think I've seen this pattern before, very nice.

Nana2 about 4 months it had to be something I could do the majority by hand as I commute between Brisbane & Sydney and don't have a machine in the latter!

Wow! That is stunning! I love the colors and the scalloped edges. I bet it was hard to let it go. Wonderful job!


Would you mind sharing the name of the pattern and the designers name. I'd like to do that one too.

Thank you! Yes I did think about keeping it but couldn't do another one! The designer is Sue Daley and the pattern is "it takes two" I actually found the pattern on a USA site but she is Australian - pm me if you need any more info
