These quilts were made to be used and washed. I have always washed and dried my quilts (in my front loader washer and dryer) before I have given them away. I have a wall hanging or two that I have not washed because they don't have the potential of getting dirty.

This morning I pulled it out of the dryer and took these pictures then stuffed it in a gift bag and ran out the door for the 10:30 am wedding. I don't think I had an extra minute!!! I did forget to go over it real good to get any threads off so I hope there arn't many hanging on!!!
What is this pattern, or is this from your head. I love this. It looks simple but has several different blocks. How many of each block do you make?
This is the third wedding quilt I finished in the last 3 days. I did not whip them up in that amount of time, just got them finished.

Okay, lets try this again. Don't know what happened with the last (2) posts.
I would like to know what pattern you used or if you had it in your head. I looks easy but I see several different blocks. How many of each block do you make for the pattern?
