Wedding quilt and plaque



My sister-in-law was married this August.  As part of the couple's wedding gift I wanted them to have something special they could keep throughout their marriage.  I decided to make this quilt incorporating a color that the bride loves...green!  From there I decided to find earth tone colors that consisted of natural looking prints.  One of the fabrics I found for this quilt was created to look like tree bark which was perfect for the natural feel of this quilt.  The tutorial for this quilt can be found at modabakeshop.com and it is titled the happy weekender quilt.  I appliqued their initials at the bottom of the quilt to personalize it further.  My cricut came in handy once again!  The wooden plaque pictured with the quilt was made by my dad.  I don't know much about woodworking but thought the plaque complimented the quilt perfectly.  To see more of my dad's work you can visit his blog at cwhatisaw.blogspot.com.
