Here is the wedding quilt for my DD's BFF. Some of you provided much needed encouragement to finish it when I learned that the colors in her bedroom are maroon and brown. But I decided that I have planned this one for her using my DD's ideas of what colors she would like, and, because she love the ocean and they are being married in Ocean City, MD on the beach.

This is the largest quilt I have ever made. I used Lovers Knot by Eleanor Burns, and cut it and pieced it in 20 days. Now to get it quilted. :shock:

The colors aren't as nice in the pic, it was getting ready to rain, and on the clothes line was the only place big enough to spread it out. The second pic is so you can see the colors a little better.
There really isn't a dirt spot on the light material, it is from the Stonehenge collection and really looks like sand.

Very pretty!

It's gorgeous! Good luck with the quilting!

That is really pretty. I like the colors.

Thanks, that part always makes me nervous!

very nice

Very pretty, I like making that quilt.

So pretty.

That was very thoughtful of you to make a quilt for her. Let us know what she says when you explain to her why it's the color that it is. It's beautiful.

It is beautiful!

Beautiful! They'll love it.

Very pretty!

They will be soo pleased...it is beautiful....love the colors up close!!!!!!

Looks really pretty. I have done things that aren't what the person had wanted, but knew the person well enough to go that way. Your colors are perfect.

Wow! Those colors look great in that pattern. Is is Lovers Knot Quilt? Love it! :thumbup:

I responded to your earlier post and am so happy that you decided to finish the quilt. Your fabrics are beautiful and it, no doubt, will be even prettier when quilted.

Beautiful! She should love it!

Thanks for all the kind words, I never would have continued if it hadn't been for all the encouragement I received from all of you!! I really owe ya! ;-)

that is beautiful

Yes, it is Lovers Knot by Eleanor Burns. I will definitely get more of her patterns, it went together so nicely. I have her book "Still Stripping After 25 Years" and I will definitely try one out of that.

Thanks for looking.

Correction: If I knew how to read I wouldn't have asked that question Duh!

TeeHee....I have those moments too! ;)

The quilt is beautiful! The colors are wonderful and I love the ocean-y feel to it :)

Sew glad you decided to get 'er done! It is beautiful! I think she may just change the colors she uses in her master bedroom and move the brown & maroon to another room. Surely her ocean colored quilt will always remind her of her ocean wedding and the special friend you and her daughter are to her.
Her are a joy to watch on your quilting journey!!!

What a beautiful quilt & very fitting for her beach wedding. Perhaps you could make a connection with her love of ocean and wedding with a saying on the label.

i.e.
In celebration of your marriage on _______(date)

"May your joys be as deep as the ocean & your sorrows as light as the foam." ~ anonymous
