What could bring more joy than a wedding? Not much, unless it's a wedding quilt! This one was made by Barbara, a brilliant quilter and, quite simply, just a wonderful person. When I first met Barbara, she was, without a doubt, the happiest, most content person I had met In a long, long time. What was it? Can't put my finger on it, but I do remember her comment about where she was living. "It's heaven on earth". Wow, I want to live in a place like that, I thought. Well, that's how I feel about Oriental, NC. Yes. Just like that. So here it is. Barbara's quilt:

Some tinting shows the quilting detail. Barbara chose a yummy flannel for the backing. The newlyweds will have two quilts; the back looks as good as the front! |

Because the backing was flannel, I chose dream cotton select. This batting has no scrim, and really pairs well with flannel. |
