Wedding quilt for 48 year old nephew
 

Bear with me, this is a bit of a story. Our nephew, Brandon, was the primary care taker for his mother during her fight with MS. He took care of her for almost twenty years. He went to a community college and got a 2 year degree in computer sciences, but that was many years ago. My husband and I always wondered how Brandon would be able to move on with his life when his mother was gone. She passed away 3 years ago. Within a few months Brandon had a job, (he'd never had a paying job before) as a driver of a transport bus for people needing help to get to doctor appointments, shopping, etc. We were so happy for him. Then he started dating a co-worker, Stacy. We were, again, so happy for him. Earlier this year they became engaged, we were thrilled for him. Last month they were married, I can't tell you how over the moon happy his whole family is! Stacy is a wonderful woman, they make the perfect couple. When we found out about the engagement I was putting this quilt together from scraps and stack and whack leftovers from a quilt I'd made in 2013. Brandon has always been very interested in my quiltmaking, he even went to a quilt show in the town where he lived so he could send pictures to me. I knew how much he would appreciate a quilt for a wedding gift, and I was right, they both loved it. In fact, he'd told Stacy that he hoped I would make them a quilt, so it's a good thing I did, I think he would have been very disappointed if we'd given them a toaster! It was such a joy to be able to celebrate their marriage, and to give them a gift from my heart.

I love the quilt as much as the story and sentiment behind it. Your design is great! It's sort of like modern meets traditional. Love it!

Great quilt AND story! BTW the quilting is terrific :-)
