A wedding quilt

OH MAN, have I been BUSTING to tell you all about this one.

Our friends E & D were married in February and I had decided to make them a quilt to mark the occasion. Oh sure, it's a few months late but hey, I actually delivered!



Choosing colours was a synch when E mentioned that red and blue together were her favourite colours - red as in a ruby red and blue as in a clear cornflowery blue.


There was a mild hiccup in proceedings as mis-judged my seam allowance on the small four-patch block, giving them 3/8inch instead of 1/4inch. So, the middle square of the bigger blocks had to be reduced and then the strips around them adjusted too. Oy. Anyway, I got there in the end and added an extra border to make-up for the slightly smaller size.
