A wedding present that I made!

This is the quilt I made for my step daughter as a wedding present.

 

The fabric is Kaffe Fasset's  oriental design and originally this design was a BOM.

But where I go for my work shops she had a pack of the fabric and all the block patterns.

I actually hand sewed the 9 blocks and the half  dresden plate design.

Something I didn't think I could do until I started the work shops which I love.

I had it professionally quilted by a long arm quilter.

This is the back turned so you can see the design

And here is a close up, isn't it amazing? It has certainly made the quilt look fantastic.
I am very pleased at how it turned out, so pleased that I have taken another one to her, my Moda French General fabric, two stars quilt. Can't wait to see how that one turns out too.

She discussed with me as to how I wanted it to look, helped me with the choice of thread, I chose this light gold colour and there were so many quilting designs to choose from; her advice was invaluable. So Janette Chilver will be seeing me again and again!

And the bride loved it.  So all my hard work was worth it!
