Wedding Quilt…
My middle daughter is getting married in July and it is time to start her quilt! She likes scrappy, so I was lucky and showed her the Disappearing 9 Patch and she loved the pattern.
I have been saving yellow and blue fabrics for about a year and this week it was time to cut!! When I make a 9 patch I work in strip sets; here are the yellows….
Here are the blues…
The stack…
And a very special fabric.
When Emily was in high school, she had the chance to go on a school trip to Paris. She brought me this beautiful fabric. I have never wanted to cut into this fabric and now I know why; it was being saved for her Wedding quilt!! It is so beautiful and will add a special touch to the quilt.
I do not think it will take to long to make the top, but I hand quilt, so I had better get going!! Right!!??
