They all think this book is fabulous and, I must say, they are absolutely correct. I have had this book for over a year, now, and it still fascinates me. You will find this quilt in this book:
It is called Underwater World. Pretty, isn't it? Now, let me introduce you to my dear friend, Luis and his wife, Andy!
Luis and Andy were married in June of 2009. As a wedding gift, I made the Underwater World quilt. Here are the fabrics I chose:
Do you like? Here is how the quilt turned out:
The quilt in the book is a lap quilt. The major tesselated pattern and first border fit perfectly on top of their queen-size bed. The additional borders are the drape. Matching pillow shams, of course:

ReplyDeleteThis quilt is stunning. I think the borders you added lift it from "great" to "fantastic". You must have an eye for design. -Joanne
ReplyDeleteIt's simply stunning and that's in no small part due to the fabrics/colours you have chosen. What a fabulous wedding gift for your friends. Great work! Ann :-)
