The second wedding quilt is for another of our nieces. It was a big year for weddings in our family. There is also a third niece that got married this year. I haven't finished that quilt yet, but I will soon.
For this one I found a picture of a rug on pinterest that I used for inspiration. Her wedding colors were navy and light peach. I added the tan and cream based on the rug colors. I followed this pattern here for the size and putting the quilt top together.
For the back I used a print from Leah Duncan's Meadow line. It is a beautiful print in person. I also had a lot of half square triangles left over from the quilt top so I added those in.
The quilting was pretty fun. I just did a meandering daisy pattern. It quilted up pretty quick and left the quilt with a softer feel. I added a corner label like on the other wedding quilt. I really like how the corner labels look and I can just add them in when I sew on the binding.
I really love how this quilt turned out. I told my husband I was tempted to keep for myself. =)
Only one more wedding quilt to go, for now. Who knows what this next year will bring.
