    Default Wedding quilt

    This quilt was made for a dear friend of my youngest dh. She once hinted that she would like a red and white quilt, but she did not really expect the hint to pay off. The quilt 'happened' row by row until it was big enough for a queen size bed. I made double wedding rings, give and take hearts, dresden plates and broken hearts. There is also lots of fmq but since it was done in white, it is not very visible. The newlyweds loved this tribute to young love.

    Wow, it is so beautiful. Great Job! I love DWR and have been working on one for my sister for about two years. I love the red and white too!

    i just love it too. The red and white is perfect for the way you combined so many of the old favorites, good job.

    Simply stunning. I love the way you used dresdens around the border, and the scrappy hearts are just too adorable. Great quilt.
