    I was commissioned to make this quilt for a woman whose daughter is getting married. They are going to use the quilt in the ceremony. It was my first (and last!) DWR and I sure didn't ask enough for the amount of work and time involved! But it turned out nice, and she loved it.

    That's really nice. How awesome they are using it in the ceremony!!! :D
    You did a wonderful job.
    BTW I do make them either- I have a couple of antique DWR that I love though :)

    Sounds like a jewish or mexican ceremony. I have seen it on tv in both.
    I love your work! Man that is a ton of work there. I can't help but think with the modern colors it was fun to make.

    The daughter picked the colors, kind of a southwestern theme in her bedroom. I know they are not jewish, but they may have seen something that gave them the idea.

    I want to make one evenutally to replace the one that was on my bed when I was in jr high and high school and that my DH and I used (along with the Grandmother's Flower Garden one his mom gave us as a wedding gift) for the first 20-30 years or so of our marriage. They both finally fell apart from being used so much.
    The Double Wedding Ring top had been given to my dad in the 1930's, I think perhaps in payment for legal work he had done.
