The Quilting Outcome!

Last week I asked for your suggestions on quilting this gift.
Your input-really helped. Thank You!


 I did swap out the two blocks that had bad contrast!
It just made me feel better.





Added Justin & Ashley's names.


Played around with swirls and pebbles.



 This is a gift for Ashley & Justin for their wedding shower next month. 
Justin has been one of my sons closest friends since grade school.


I find it a bit of a challenge to not make a wedding gift too feminine or too masculine.
That is with the pattern, the fabrics and the quilting.

This is also my March-ALYOF. 
So I am a bit early--which is rare!


Till We Quilt Again,

    Turned out beautifully. Love your quilting. I really like to quilt the names on a quilt, makes it so personal. Actually I need to make a wedding quilt and you have given me an idea. Thank for the inspiration. Okay to pin?

    I love it! The design is simple and striking, and the quilting really enhances it. Love how you have done the names. What a fantastic gift for the couple.

    The quilt and quilting are wonderful. I don't think I voted on whether to change out the dark blocks...as Iremember, I couldn't decide. My first instinct is not to change, but it does look better changed.

    Lovely! The dense quilting really helps the names to pop out. I think you did a great job balancing out the masculine and feminine in this project, and I hope the quilt is well loved by the recipients. :)

    I really love this quilt! I've been considering an unplanned fmq free-for-all on my next quilt, and you've given me the confidence to do it! I also like how you've used natural colours that would be at home in any couple's house.
