I am posting about a quilt I finished quite a long time ago.
It has a long convoluted story but I am not going to go into that right now.
Instead I am going to talk about how happy I was to be able to gift this quilt to a very special, young couple that got married last January.
Amy has been a friend of my middle daughter's since they were both 5 years old.
They were besties for many years and when they talk it's like things pick right up where they left off. I think most of us have friends like that right?
She spent so much time at our house she is like another daughter to us!
Anyway, I designed this quilt for their wedding. Without further ado I will just share the photos.
This quilt may look like some others but I assure you it was completely designed by me using EQ7. Kathy Koch did the amazing quilting.
This is the quilt on their bed.
I love how the colors look in this photo here on the bed.
A quick shot of the label
The quilt was fairly large so I ended up having to piece the back. I could not be happier with how amazing the back turned out!
Of course you can see Kathy's amazing quilting on the back too.
Here is a photo of Amy and Grant from their wedding.

This is an oldie but a goodie of Amy and my daughter up north at Hardy Dam.
They both look so young to me here!
I hope you have enjoyed the quilt and the story too.
I am linking up to Finish it up Friday over at Crazy Mom Quilts.
Have a great weekend and happy sewing!
