So here is the wedding quilt. I finished the quilting yesterday and now just have to make the binding. I can’t believe that I am in the home stretch. It took a lot of time to make all of the blocks but once that was done, things really started moving.
Here is a close up of some of the blocks – they are wonky log cabins. I tried to keep a balance of size and color but didn’t worry too much about it. All of the blocks were improvised.
Here is the back. Although I didn’t need to, I added the orange stripe to break up the orange and to make it reversible.
Here is a close up of the three little blocks I added to the back. There was a brief moment when I considered making more, but then I reined in that insanity and moved on to the fun part – free motion quilting.
The next round of pictures will be of the finished quilt, which should hopefully be done this week. I can’t wait to see how it looks after getting washed. Good thing I have another quilt in the queue so I am not tempted to keep this one for myself.
Wow – it’s just beautiful! And huge – don’t know if I’d be brave enough to attempt to quilt one that size myself!
I love the back too – so great!
Gorgeous!! Just gorgeous!
This looks amazing! Did you free motion quilt this? I can’t tell from the photos…would love to see a closeup of the quilting if you have a chance 🙂
The back is so cute and such a fun contrast! Good luck with the binding.
