I FINISHED THE QUILT

I have been working on a quilt for a friend's wedding for almost 2 years.  I'm not really late - I've been told that a wedding quilt is not really late until their fifth anniversary.  Anyway, this quilt was a bit beyond my skill level and a did a ton of frogging on it.  It feels great to be finished.

I keep a journal of all the quilts I make and the most important section in that journal is "Lessons Learned".  That section is longer for this quilt than any other I've made.  But I really enjoyed doing it.

The colors were hard to capture.  I've posted 2 pictures of the front - one in sun and one in shade.

The top one was taken more in the shade, and the bottom one in the sun.  I played with them in a picture editor, which helped.  Interesting what a difference it makes.

The back has a picture of the bride and groom in the middle.  The squares around the picture are pieces of cloth that I brought to the wedding for guests to sign.





All in all, I'm happy with the project.
