Yesterday extended families and friends came together to celebrate the marriage of our lovely niece and our new nephew-by-marriage. What a beautiful day! You can't have an aunt who quilts without receiving a wedding quilt. Every stitch made with hopes and prayers for a wonderful life together.
Our niece has always enjoyed skiing, and their new home in Colorado will offer many opportunities for them to continue in the sport. Fabrics chosen for their quilt kept that in mind. The blue and white both are snowflake prints. Navy and grey borders frame a field of single wedding ring blocks. The pieced blocks even reminded me of snowflakes.
The pattern was in a 2006 Quilting Block & Pattern-a-Day Calendar by Debby Kratovil. Coincidentally, the blocks were featured over days that included the bride's birthday. It was meant to be!
It's not quite queen size in width. Perfect for cuddling up on the sofa on crisp winter evenings with a cup of hot cocoa. Love and best wishes to the bride and groom!
