So as you can guess from the title I'm referring to a quilt that was supposed to be a wedding gift for my stepson and his wife. That was the intention anyway. Of course as so often happens with me lately, I start gung ho on a project and then burn out. Don't know why. I used to be so much better at finishing things! Anway, they were married in November, so I think I have plenty of time to finish, as I understand it, technically you have a year to give a wedding gift. So I think I like it.
I'm hoping one the border goes on it won't look so busy. The border fabric is a soft gray with scattered pinkish flowers spaced far apart, so there's lots of space to rest your eyes. Not sure how I'll quilt it yet.Any suggestions?
I love it.. the border sounds perfect!

It is so gorgeous and yummy! Not too busy at all and I think the border sounds perfect. As for quilting, if I were doing it, I would just do concentric circles over the whole thing. They are my 'comfort' quilting pattern to do, mainly because they work with so many tops. But really, I think they would look great with this one!

I would probably do a diagonal grid, but it's a lot of work...Joanna's suggestion was great, too!
You do have a full year. I am still operating on that myself since two of my friends got married in Nov and I still don't know what I'm doing for them!

I don't think it matters when it's finished. It'll be well worth the wait. Beautiful. xx
