    Anicra, So pretty, thanks for posting the pic.

    To everyone who replies and offered encouragement. Thanks a million. I have located the book, and have reviewed the materials I had chosen. Decided I don't like them, so this weekend will be out looking for more. I decided to make one similar to the blue, ocean colors one on the last page, called Ambers Ocean. The feel of an ocean or day at the beach is what I was aiming for in the first place as she and her family spend a lot of time there and the ceremony is taking place at the beach. Wish me luck....I have a very hard time picking and coordinating colors.

    Lover's Knot was the very first quilts I made some sixteen years ago for my daughter. It was very easy and went together fast, expecially for a newbee at the time.

    Very easy to make. I made one for the 50th anniversary of my Brother in law.

    I made this quilt twice and both were King size. Two in 6 months. It was very easy to cut. I cut all the trips and labeled them and then sewed it like a it was a production line! The first one was done in light Teal and Chocolate fabrics for my mother. The 2nd one was done in various browns for my daughter. But who am I? I am an Eleanor Burns fan!!! Patterns are well-explained.

    Oh No! Now I have another pattern on my "must do soon" list! I have avoided this because it looked hard, now I have no excuse!

    That was my very first quilt for my daughter when she was born. It is an easy quilt if you follow the directions. I still have the quilt and will give it back to her when she has a baby.

    The year I did this, I was working on 2 quilt tops at the same time and got them both done in 5 weeks. That is only working on themafter work (5pm) till about 10pm each night about 5 nights a week. So I don't see why it couldn't be done in even less time. Pretty easy directions as are always the way with Eleanor Burns. and I did the super King size with added length to go over pillows.
