Wedding Quilt for Niece
 

I've been collecting purple batiks for my niece for several years, planning on using them for her wedding quilt. Purple has always been her favorite color. Imagine my surprise when she chose browns and ivories for her bedroom colors (even her wedding colors were brown and orange...what happened to our purple girl?). Anyway, I love browns and went to my stash and was able to pull almost everything I needed to make this quilt. It has about 25 different browns fabrics plus a few that I used both sides to get lighter tones. Unfortunately, I didn't have enough of my cream fabric to finish the quilt the way I originally planned so I added the wide brown strips. It's an 88"X96" queen sized quilt. Now I just have to figure out how to quilt it. I think it will lend itself well to a custom design and I may do it myself on my friend's longarm. I'm calling it "Everlasting, Ever-changing Bonds of Love".

Very striking! Love the deep browns!

Beautiful quilt. I'm a big fan of brown too.

nicely done

Beautiful quilt. I am sure your niece and husband will enjoy this quilt for years to come.

What a beautiful quilt she will love it.

Beautiful!

I like the name, the quilt and the wide borders.

very nice!!!

Gorgeous!! She will love it!

Very pretty quilt! Gonna be a wonderful gift!

Beautiful and special. Save the purples, maybe they' all have a daughter who will love purple and then you can make that special quilt

That is a lovely quilt. I hope they will enjoy it for years to come.

Really nice. I love that design. What is the pattern called?

Oooo love that pattern!!

I have never seen that pattern before. I really like it.

Great job! :)

very nice. I am sure they will love it

What an interesting design. The browns/ivory is a great combo.

It's lovely.

I didn't use a pattern, just graphed it out and went from there...I don't know if it exists as an official pattern with a name and all...I just call the base pattern "chain". It's made from 4-1/2" squares & HSTs (4" finished blocks). The hardest thing about putting it together was keeping track of which part went under vs. over...I turned one section the wrong way and didn't notice for weeks, but I saw it and fixed it before the wedding.

Nicely done.

Lovely quilt. Like the pattern very much.

great job on the design -- i'm sure the couple will love all the work you've put into it, i'd be thrilled to get that!

beautiful, and such a great wedding gift, a treasure for your niece.

Yummy, Great use of light and dark values of brown too. Love the interwoven effect.

I agree with everyone else. I am sure that she will love it. BrendaK
