A wedding quilt ...

Done by my good friend Deborah Jarman of Bromyard (one of the people who got me into this quilting lark), for her daughter Kate's wedding to the lovely Mark last weekend. Kate wanted a wholecloth quilt and, after her initial panic was over, Deb rose to the occasion designing a quilt as you go concept with each block containing a motif personally relevant to Kate and Mark. I gather that the last stitches were put in on the morning before the wedding!

 

 

 

 

 

And an experiment!

From Doug, who set himself the task of replicating a quite complicated geometric pattern at it's original size of A4. I think he's done incredibly well, but he now appreciates some of the lessons I've been trying to impress on him about having too many points meeting up and the way that you construct sections in order to avoid horrible joins!!
