Wedding Guest Book Quilt Finished

I finally have finished the quilt for my friend's daughter who got married last summer. She is the sweet girl who had the vintage brooch bouquet and vintage shower. She used the quilt squares as a guest book for the guest to sign, and then I put the quilt together and had it quilted for their wedding gift.

The colors are different tones of browns and creams with some purples added here and there. The colors for the wedding were purple, but we wanted the feel of the quilt to be a little more neutral.

It did not take nearly as long to put the quilt top and back together as it did to have it quilted. I always seem to have a mishap with the longarm quilters for some reason. But, finally got it back and finished over the weekend.

Here is the back........

Guest signed the blocks, and left words of wisdom. I found some inspirational quotes and added them throughout the quilt. This one is from me....my own personal quote and words of wisdom.

Very personal, and the bride was thrilled with her quilt......and hopefully will become a family treasure.

I used polka dot batik binding, and really loved how it pulled all the colors of the quilt together.

Here is the label. I swiped a wedding photo from the couple's facebook page and added it to the label. I think it was a neat touch and very personal for them. They are so fun, the label really needed to reflect their personality, in my opinion.

I hope they really enjoy this quilt, and treasure it as they treasure each other. Next time I make one of these, I hope I don't hit any snafu's to keep it from being presented to the couple much sooner than I'd like. At any rate, it will be fun for them to read all the messages and enjoy what their guest had to say.

I really have been quilting.....just not a lot to show it seems....or not a lot of finishes!
