It's been months....

...since I posted to this blog so I figure I need to give an update. In June I finished the wedding commission and attended the wedding were it featured in the ceremony and afterwards was presented to the happy couple. Having been a huge labor of love, I won't be making another any time soon, but it is a theme I would really like to revisit at some point. Definitely much better and more interesting than your typical wedding quilt, and judging by the comments received, a good piece for my portfolio. Am a little burned out on the details right now, but will post more close-up shots and thoughts on the process soon. In the meantime, here it is in action...



The next day it was hung in the newlyweds' house. That's it on the upper story...WOW!



Now I am back to my other projects that got dropped while working on this one. I am still in process on a diamond star quilt made from Kaffe Fassett fabrics from his latest book. It's looking like it will be called 'Persian Star' as that what it reminds me of with the fabrics and colors used. The border is proving to be some work but I am enjoying the even pace of it versus the constant 'do a little, evaluate the next move, do a little more' of art quilting. I am also working on a baby quilt for Dave's niece Amy. This particular one is a medallion style with a New York Beauty centerpiece all done in bright solid batiks. Am already planning the quilting for this one as I piece it together.
