Quilting D

O Mary! How beautiful. I don't have any suggestions other than I like the idea of lots of white. You know that this will be a lifetime treasure especially coming from her mom and grandma. How will you have the quilting done? Wouldn't it be wonderful to have greenfairy or Richard Larsen do their magic on this beauty? That is of course, if you couldn't do it yourself which would be ideal. I'd love to be a fly on the wall to see your daughters expression when she receives this work of art. Please share when it is finished.

White sashing w/ vine repro through the sashing. Since it is a wedding gift and will be used for both partners, I am hesitant to place colors (sashing). That is beautiful embroidery and will surely make a WOW quilt. Lots of love in those stitches.

This is a great idea. I love the blocks, it's going to be such a gorgeous quilt!

I think the yellow and sage would be soft and lovely. What a treasure your DD and her groom will have

I think using the yellow and green, maybe with some pink splashes, flowers or what-not would make it more versatile, the husband would probably be more apt to enjoy it displayed than if there's a lot more pink in it.
Didn't read dyer's post til just now, so I guess this is kind of repeating, but that's what I have to say

If you have only six 15 inch blocks you could pick a coordinating print or pretty solid to make six more same size with one beautiful embroidery block separated by the solid to make three blocks across and four down still adding sashing and one or two pretty borders and you would have a very nice wedding quilt

For off set blocks, I would have her future last name initial done in embroidery thread in your color choice, and then quilt the block in a frame of hearts.

I love the blocks your mom made.

The alternating block could be an hourglass block made up of pale yellow and sage green. Changing the orientation of these in each row would make it appear that a diamond shape would surround each of these beautiful embroidered blocks.

I would not put a lot of color in the sashing as I think it would take away from the beautiful needlework -- might even just use more white and quilt the sashing elaborately. I think the colors (pink or blue) would be too much - but that's just me.
