Friday Finish! Whoop Whoop!!
Weddings styles are forever changing -- as they should be. However, one thing stays the same....we all want to bring a very special gift to the couples closest to us. The traditional Wedding Ring Quilt is perfect, however for those intimidated by curves, "
Summer Wedding" offers an EASY alternative.
Yes, I said easy. Once you make the little "H" units (mindless chaining), the quilt comes together quickly.
A little chat about fabric choices. I am a scrappy quilter...it's in my genes. However, not everyone likes scrappy! This pattern offers fun for both types. My first "
Summer Wedding" was scrappy 😄, and became the cover shot for
Black Cat Creations, who published the pattern.
The second one below, just two fabrics --- but guess what --- I enjoyed it, because I used a large busy print of med to dark grays, copper, golds and blacks, with a light silver Kona background. With a large print, each of the units will take on their own little characteristic.
Do you see a little modern twist??? And...I had plenty of space for fancy feather quilting.
SHOW AND TELL
First up -- our Birthday Girl, Bunny. Bunny used a single light blue background and scrappy H's to make this beautiful lap size. This pattern offers several sizes, king, queen/full, twin (pattern cover) and lap.
Next, Lynn used my scrappy version as a guide and made hers in the twin size. Lynn is hiding behind the quilt somewhere, she is a cutie, but shy.
Last is Tina's twin version. Look close, she used the open spaces to highlight her embroidered art.
