The Wedding Gift

My niece is getting married tomorrow. Here is the quilt I made as a wedding present for them. It was a kit I purchased a couple of years ago - Garden Charm. My first attempt at applique which wasn't an easy feat because of my wrist issues but I modified a bit & viola, I did it! I think I've finally graduated from Novice quilt maker to maybe Intermediate?

Queen Size but still couldn't get it all in the pic.

Complete w/label.
It's doesn't match any decor she has decided to use and ironically the backing is actually a better fit. They are going to be living in a small one bedroom tiny house (my Mom's) & already has her white comforter set. She will undoubtedly store it at my sisters. I hope when they build a house she will find a use for it.

I also made a pillow topper, made w/leftover fabric, but it is waaaay to busy to be used w/the quilt.


I will finish this & use it on the island at the Barn Apartment & will make her another that is more toned down.

We've got a wedding to attend!
