Aren't they handsome quilt holders?
I had them standing halfway up a snowbank, so they'd be tall enough that the quilt wouldn't puddle on the ground, and I snapped a shot to show how big the snowbank actually is.
I love the pop of yellow binding against the muslin back...
and against the green front of the quilt too. Every one of those big flowers is very wonky, but I'm still pleased with how it all looks.
Now to just get it delivered to the bride and groom (who have been married over a week now).
This is my first finish from my Finish-a-Long list for this quarter. In celebration, I'll be linking this post everywhere I can think of! Check out the page at the top of the blog for some of my usual link-ups.
Congratulations! I looks great and I really like your choice of binding. The view of the quilting from the back shows it off nicely, but I am pretty sure I can see it from the front in the first photo, too!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great big beautiful finish! Love those fmq'd flowers. And the yellow binding was the perfect choice to frame this gorgeous quilt. The bride and groom are sure to love it!
ReplyDeleteThe quilting is amazing! I'm sure the happy couple will adore it!

ReplyDeleteWhat a stunning quilt! The yellow binding just pops, beautiful quilting too!!
ReplyDeleteThis is lovely- you have made such a classic pattern very dynamic with your color choices and quilting designs
ReplyDeleteI think the flowers look beautiful!! I'm sure they will love it! Wow, that is a huge snow pile. Little snow, but very cold temps where I live.
ReplyDeleteYou finished it a week after the wedding? I'm super impressed. I try to get the wedding quilt done by the couple's first anniversary but that doesn't always happen. I love the quilting! www.quiltartbymegan.com
ReplyDeleteIt looks incredible! They are sure to love it. And yes, your quilt holders are very handsome.
ReplyDeleteLovely quilt and your quilted flowers are amazing. It may look wonky to you, but nobody's looking.
ReplyDeleteLeanne, the quilting is just amazing. I had to smile when I saw your pictures. I have so many with my kids holding them. I can't wait for my oldest to get a little taller!!
ReplyDeleteYour quilting is what really puts the finishing touch on this quilt. Congratulations to you and to the bride and groom!
