Wedding Quilt - VOILA!

I have been to a wedding. It was beautiful. Not a dry eye around as Sabina and Rickard shares a very special love story. It was a fantastic trip. And even if the rain hardly stopped during my 4 day Sweden visit, I enjoyed every second of it. Just look how beautiful the newly weds are.

And how happy this stunning bride Sabina is.

And my gift, a wedding quilt, was very much appreciated. I got so many compliments from other guests and the wedding couple that I got all embarrassed and kind of hid away in all the gift unwrapping commotion. Silly me, I have always had a hard time taking a compliment.

Here it is. My Wedding Quilt. The front.

I made a patchwork from 25 cm/10 inch squares. The fabric is designed by Tilda. Only a couple of recycled gingham fabrics was added.

The back. Made from a gingham I found at a market and patched up with some Tilda left overs.

I used a brown pin stripe binding. And as I ran out of time I machine sewed it on.

I machine quilted in the ditch between all squares and finished by making diagonal seams to get a cross/square effect.

And I labeled it with a hand written label, hand sewed on with dark pink Cotton Perle embroidery thread using a blanket stitch.

Unfortunately the weather wasn't the greatest for a photo shoot, maybe a reason to make another quilt just like this. Thought this was my best one I've made so far and I totally agree.  I love the fresh light color scheme and Scandinavian touch. I am proud. Very very proud. And now back at home I can actually let the compliments sink in without blushing.

More to come about my Swedish trip, but right now it is a lot of other duties on teh list... Laundry, house cleaning, preparations for a number of excursions in school, birthday parties, midsummer feast... Busy busy. Thank you for popping by and I see you soon again.

Kärlek
