Wedding quilt: Finished.

Ta da!

I just love the puffy wadding I used for this quilt. This is the cosy look I've been after for ages.

I ended up taking some of the yellow fabrics out as I felt the look was more harmonious with just a touch of it. I generally find this is a good rule to follow when using yellow as its not my favourite colour.

I've been wanting to delve into my cloud 9 stash in quite a while and it was great to find that a bit of Joel Dewberry modern meadow in pond and some Moda sunkissed complimented the range beautifully. I do have LOADS of other ranges of fabric left over that didnt make the cut, its so tricky to find the right tone on the internet, I do hope I will be able to use it for something else one day.

I love the way the hand quilting turned out on the back.

    How pretty! Soothing and cool-looking without being boring. She's sure to love it. I like a puffier quilt, too - what did you do for the batting?

    Beautiful - I love the touches of yellow, which is quite something as I'm not a yellow fan!

    I think it looks elegant. Well done.

    I, too, am not really fond of yellow and find a little goes a loooooooong way!

    Oh if she doesn't then she's more than welcome to send it to me! It turned out wonderful! So soft and cool looking (it's 108F here right now, I try to imagine everything looking cool and refreshing)
    Truly you did an amazing job it looks perfect. :)
