The wedding quilt





Finally revealed! Pictures of the quilt I made for my brother on the occassion of his wedding. I found this pattern online and loved it. The blocks are standard log cabin blocks, but I like the image it makes all put together. And I added two hearts in the middle to signify the two love birds giving their hearts to each other.
Of course, thanks as always go to the quilting frame for binding and quilting this one. Sandra did a great job.
And when we gave this to Stevie and Lauren we all stood around it and prayed over, that it would be a reminder that the two are now one, covered over in love. Also, Ashok prayed a beautiful prayer about the various peices of who they are as a couple symbolically coming together to become one beautiful creation. It was really nice. I hope they will enjoy this quilt for many years to come.

This quilt was one of the best you have done so far Cadh8, at least in terms of the meaning and creative communication that it contains. I loved everything about it from the color choice to the way the blocks for each individual have a cross as their center and the hearts drawing near to each other. It was an amazing work. The prayer time, as you noted was very special.

You have outdone yourself again!
