A Wedding Quilt



















The theme for this wedding quilt was based on the bride's love of tulips.

Two of the fabric prints included tulips. A cabbage rose print picks up all the colors in the tulip print and freehand embroidery of a heart, the bride and groom's names and the date are in the center panel.

The quilting design incorporates tulips as well.

I wish I had a better set of slides for this quilt. It is much brighter than it appears. Since it was a king size, it had to be folded under to hang on the quilt show frame.

The center square is embroidered with the bride and groom's names as well as the date. The idea is that when the quilt wears out, the center square can be cut out and framed as a memento.
