Happy Wedding, Chelsea and Brian!

Modern Rustic Charm

Earlier this month we celebrated at Chelsea and Brian’s wedding and here’s my present to them!  This is my design using Moda Grunge 5″ charm packs for the off center vertical design and the horizontal row in the back.  My title for this quilt is “Modern Rustic Charm”.  I love the distressed nature of the Grunge fabric!back of quiltThe backing needed the extra row to make it big enough.
name and date detailThe quilting design is a back forth grid matching the size of the charm squares with the couple’s name and wedding date stitched in the quilt.Wrapped and labeledI love Moda’s Grunge line of fabric.  The newest line of colors is out, here’s a place to buy it!  I have an idea for a jelly roll pattern, so it’s on my wish list!!

That’s 4 weddings and 2 babies so far this year!  And there’s still more to come!  If time permits, I hope to post some awesome customer, too!

Happy stitching!

Rectangles and SquaresLast month we celebrated with Chris and Arissa at their wedding and this was my present to them.  This quilt, “Rectangles and Squares” is a result of my moratorium on sewing triangles and I’m still not sewing too many triangles!! I love the simplicity of it and it’s a fun way to use a collection of fabrics.  I have a mini-tutorial for making this quilt here!  A scrappy version of this is on my quilts to make list.front and backI love how the swirly quilting compliments the backing fabric and the rectangles on the front.front detailIt looks like a different quilt when you rotate it and the rectangles are vertical.  That could be the next layout!wrapped, ready and baggedI even surprised myself by making a label, (the day of the wedding, haha!) and here’s a look into the gift bag!  As you can see, they’ve already celebrated their one month anniversary!!  Happy Wedding, Chris and Arissa!

Stay tuned for more wedding quilt reveals!
