The New Wedding Quilt

Here is a new wedding quilt that will have the Cathedral Window pattern placed on it. The previous one was determined to be the wrong color so I quilted another one for the family and this one will be just right to go along with the center panel!

The quilting pattern was Elegant feathers.



Once again the thread used was Dyed Natural.

Wedding Quilt for a Grandson

Roylene's friends, Pat and Deb, brought me this fabric to quilt and they will tack the following cathedral windows panel on the top of it. A 93 year old grandmother made the cathedral window part and they are going to surprise her with the finished quilt that will be given to her grandson for his wedding in March. I hope they like the results! Wonderful cathedral windows!

Elegant Feathers was the quilting done in Dyed Natural thread.


This shows the quilt with the cathedral panel on top of the quilt. It will be tacked down in the center of the quilt.


Wonderful fabrics used in the windows!
