Most recent quilt

Just finished an anniversary quilt for the brother of a friend of a friend. Yeah, confusing, but it makes sense to me.

I was referred by my wonderful friend, Ariel, to create this quilt for a friend of her's. Her brother wanted to make a quilt for his wife for their first anniversary, using the fabric from the centerpieces from their wedding reception. I recreated the monogram, filigree pattern, names and dates that were used on a table runner at the reception too.

I think the whole quilt turned out wonderfully. I learn a little bit more every time I make a quilt, and I learned a lot with this one. Hopefully each quilt gets a little easier and looks better than the last.

Hoping they enjoy this quilt for Christmas!
