Kate, the daughter of a close friend, is getting married in July and Andy & I have been invited to attend. In May, she contacted me and asked if I'd make a quilt for people to sign as a guest book at the wedding. It was short notice and I was a little hesitant, but after thinking it over I gladly said I would.
After we returned from our family visit to Illinois I was able to get started on it. From there it came together quickly.
Kate told me the colors and then let me take creative license from there. I had it finished in about two weeks and was able to gift it to her at her bridal shower two weeks ago.

I think Kate looks like she likes it! :)
I had no pattern for it...just a picture I had found on Pinterest. I downloaded the picture, printed it out, and developed my own pattern from there!
I cut 5" strips from fat quarters and used my Easy Angle ruler to sub-cut the triangles from the strips. The blocks were 5" unfinished...4.5" finished. It is made from batiks and is machine quilted.
I thought I had gotten a picture of the label on the back, but I guess I forgot to take one.

Lovely quilt! I love to 'plan' a quilt that way, make it up as you go!
ReplyDeleteA very dynamic design and lovely color sense, too! What a great memory you made for this couple.
