jacob & sarah got engaged in january, at initially planned a summer wedding for 2018. as their time engaged passed on and then may rolled around, they decided to change their date from june 2018 to september 2017. oy! being jacob's cousin, i of course planned to make them a wedding quilt, but now went from an entire year to make one to just a few short months. ack! they picked their wedding colors of teal, burgundy & orange and i began to think on how to make them a quilt using just these colors. at the end of the preschool year, i received a pair of leggings in these colors, plus purples, greens & yellows and knew instantly how to work the colors in. i found a great pattern by
cluck cluck sew and started gathering dozens of fat quarters to complete this quilt. a little gray helped balance everything out instead of a stark white, and their fall wedding quilt came in to completion. i bought a few pantographs including
"macrame" from urban elementz and after an
instagram survey, felt like it would be the perfect way to finish off this quilt. a few days renting the long arm (had a mishap that involved tension issues & seam ripping) it got all quilted & bound just days before their wedding. i am so happy with the final result of this beast, i kept telling myself "i want a queen size quilt for my bed!"
someday, emily...
someday soon, i hope.
