A Wedding Quilt Complete

I'm so glad to be finished with this quilt.  The wedding is in two weeks and I've finished it just in time.  I also took advantage of the Rowan Oak location (William Faulkner's home) in Oxford, MS, to take pictures just like I did for my Bestie's baby quilt.  I got a bit finger happy on my iPhone and I took lots of pictures.  I hope you don't mind.  :)

I used a layered cake of the Amy Butler's Belle collection for this quilt.  The fabric patterns are bold and beautiful, and creates an explosion of color when put together.


The land scape around Rowan Oak is beautiful with all the tall trees and wooden areas surrounding the house.


The house is also lovely and has all these quirky characteristics that really show off the eccentric personality of William Faulkner.





I also had a jelly roll of the Belle collection that I used to help put together the back and the binding.

  2. The backing is beautiful, too. I really like how the dark navy frames the front and the pieced binding brings it all back together. Lovely photo shoot, too! Congratulations for getting it done in time!

  18. This could be used on either side. Love that large blue print for the backing. And of course it's a beautiful location! Makes me want to finish a few quilts just so I can take them on my next trip south for some location shoots. :)
