Wedding Quilt

Our son is getting married in a month. It is a short engagement, and most of it is during the holidays. I knew I had to get their quilt done before things got too hectic. I worked on this at my quilt retreat, and it was wonderful to get the top done there. I quilted it and bound it this week. Now it just needs a label.

It's a simple quilt. The original pattern is made with charm squares. I wanted a big quilt so used two layer cakes instead. I also wanted it to be somewhat "manly" since it's my son who is getting it too. I chose Midwinter Reds by Minick & Simpson for Moda, because, well, because who doesn't love some good reds to cuddle up underneath? 


Quilt Pattern: Garden Lattice by Amy Gibson of Stitchery Dickory Dock  (modified to make it large)
Fabric: Midwinter Reds by Minick & Simpson for Moda
Size: 88 X 88 inches
