My daughter’s sweet friend
Sarah got married on Saturday. They did a “live stream” of the wedding and I
wish I could show you the photos that my daughter showed me on her phone. Sarah
wore her grandmother’s wedding dress and vintage stole and her husband wore a
top hat and tails. So elegant!
Anyway… I finished their
wedding quilt yesterday. Simple yet functional. My daughter said – make it long
(they are both tall) and use lots of green and turquoise.
Well, as you can see, I was
able to fill the “green” part, but as I dug through my substantial stash, I
realized I had very little turquoise or teal. I had to improvise and throw what
I did have in with other blues. I used a warm wool batting (for cold Maine
nights) and just quilted straight-ish vertical lines. All that really matters
is that it makes a nice snuggle quilt.
Hope you get some fun
stitching in today!
I love it. Blues and greens go together so well. Hugs
ReplyDeleteWonderfully functional quilt, and it doesn't have a feminine flowery vibe, Sarah's husband will love it as much as she does. Happy stitching!
ReplyDeleteSimple, yet functional. What a wonderful order to fill and you did a lovely job of it! Best of luck to the happy couple.
ReplyDeleteIt is a beauty, Wendy--but, wait! No potholders?!? LOL
ReplyDeleteI love this combination of colors. I would also be hard pressed to produce turquoise or teal from my stash. You did well.
It sounds like a lovely wedding.
I would never have thought to use turquoise and greens together but wow, the combination is stunning! To me it’s evocative of a cool steam running through a forest, in a dreamy sort of way. And who wouldn’t want to snuggle under that! Brilliant!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt Wendy !!
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure the liked it a lot !
What a nice wedding gift. The blues and greens look great together.
ReplyDeleteThis is really nice! Lots of beautiful color. I don’t have a lot of turquoise in my stash either but I’m working on it 😉
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful gift!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure they will love it!
ReplyDeleteLooks perfect for snuggling!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful wedding gift and perfect for cold Maine nights! Not sure I would have anything close to the number of blues or greens that you had in your stash. A great finish!
ReplyDeleteLove the color combo and quilt! Wonderful wedding gift.
ReplyDeletesuch a change from most of your quilts but lovely and will be loved i'm sure...
ReplyDeleteLove it--sometimes the simplest of designs are the most beautiful!
ReplyDeleteGreat quilt! reminds me I have to quilt my string quilt, maybe I'll follow your lead and do straight lines.
ReplyDeleteI wish we could see the vintage dress. How lovely.
