My baby brother is getting married next month to a real sweetie of a woman, so tickled to have her join the family and even more thrilled at how happy they are together. I made them this summer couch quilt for their wedding gift based on the Pretty in Pink pattern that uses charm squares (although I used fat quarters cut down). I put the whole center together and then sliced and added the white lattice strips (and did similar with the border), used flannel for the backing with no batting and bound it with a flange binding. It was a little scary cutting a sewn top but as a fairly new quilter it was easier than trying to accurately piece the blocks and get all the seams to match up. Also just stitched in the ditch for quilting. I named it 'Squared Away' for the design as well as a nod to his military career. Thanks for looking.

Very pretty. I'm sure they will love it.

That is so clever to cut the quilt and then add the sashing. I will have to remember that.
