Giving this away on Saturday to a neice for a wedding gift. Sorry to see it go, hope she likes it, takes care of it and doesn't use it for a dog blanket or something. I almost always tell people who I give quilts to, "If you don't like it, please give it back. It truly won't hurt my feelings!

It's called "Fireworks" and it's made from batiks. The colors are very rich, as you can see, but they do lose something in the photo.

Miss T that is just beautiful.

Would be great to see a few more shots - is the center gold? Looks like it was lots of work.

Lucky bride & groom.

The center is a pale blue/aqua. The pattern is called "fireworks."

MissT, I'm sure they will love it and appreciate all the love you put into this quilt. It really is a beauty! I'm sure they will keep it forever and hand it down to their kids someday. Isn't it nice to think that someday, someone will remember our names..if only because its on a quilt label somewhere?? :lol:

Thank you all for your kind comments. I sure hope they like it. Actually, it wouldn't be all that bad if they didn't, the could give it back and I'd be just as happy! :wink:

Sandpat, the label is shown on the last picture. Just a simple heart with all the information on it.
