This Week's Finish : A Wedding Quilt


 
 Ginny's oldest son is getting married this weekend, and she has been piecing this quilt all summer for a gift. 


She chose the 
Just Can't Cut It 
quilt pattern by 
All Washed Up, 
which suggests 
finding a 
large focal print 
and build 
around it. 



  This quilt is huge, 95" by 110"!
 We went to M&L Fabrics, and Ginny chose colors from Natalie's fall choices. I think she did a great job.
 I just pulled it off the frame Friday pm, and put the binding on over the weekend.
 What? Doesn't everyone have a Nutella jar on their sewing machine desk?!? lol!
 I did a scroll quilt design, free motion, and made a freestyle heart in each of the rust/red blocks.









BTW, Happy Cottage Quilter Jocelyn 
had a great finish on this same pattern, go see it here.  




I just pulled it off the frame Friday pm, and put the binding on over the weekend. 




Happy Wedding Day, Paul and Natalie!

  7. Such a pretty quilt to work on, Pokey, and I am sure the bride and groom will be so pleased with that lovely gift. As for the Nutella - I bought my first jar not too long ago and that is pretty good stuff! I think it is rather energizing, isn't it? :-) Enjoy! Carol

How cool that Ginny, Natalie and you went together to the fabric store to purchase material for Natalie's wedding quilt. So do you have a spoon close by to the Nutella?
