Wedding Quilt for Christina and Aidan

 

Finished quilt

     My niece got married over Memorial Day weekend after having to postpone it because of COVID-19.  I saw a disappearing nine patch quilt on line and just loved the colors and all.  I thought it would be a great quilt for them.

Inspiration photo

     I looked at the fabrics in my stash and found most of what I needed.  I bought the white/silver for the sashing and a chevron print for the backing fabric.  It was fun to find black and white prints that reflected her love of her dog and her singing.

     Since all I had was a photo, I made a practice square to see how it would turn out.  I believe I cut six inch squares from my fabrics and then had a finished block of 13 inches.  Some how I can't find my notes that I took while working on the quilt.

Block with sashing

     I added sashing and corner squares to the blocks and I set them on point.  It was fun playing with the different prints, I used twelve different ones plus the turquoise.

Fabrics I used

     I then added a turquoise first border and a second border of the musical notes.

Borders

     I found a pretty grey chevron flannel for the backing and my friend Joni did the quilting.  I embroidered a couple of labels and added a turquoise binding.

     I hope they enjoy the quilt and have a long happy marriage.
