TESSELATED WEDDING

Recently I have seen this book crop up in a couple of blogs:


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:


I worked on this for 3 months and completed the quilt only a week before the wedding.  The shams got done a while later.  They love the quilt.  Makes my heart skip a beat.

  5. This quilt is stunning. I think the borders you added lift it from "great" to "fantastic". You must have an eye for design. -Joanne
