Wedding Quilt

Entering my freshman year of college I was set up with two roommates. I hit it off just fine with both of them. But I am especially glad that I am still friends with one of them, my Megan. We've traveled together, had heart to hearts, and now we both quilt! It's just another bond that ties us together. Who else can appreciate sewing puns? "You're sew rad!" or " You're hot" set next to a picture of an iron.

I wasn't surprised by her wedding gift (I'm sure she told me it would be a quilt), but I am in awe of her workmanship. She makes quilts in a jiff. She keeps a busy schedule. And yet, she was able to whip up this gem in time for the wedding.

We even used it for a the backdrop of the cake cutting.

Seven years that we've known each other now. Crazy!
 For kicks, here's a pic from when it started. Fall 2006:

Summertime baby quilt

It's December and I'm only now recapturing the quilts that I've finished in the past months.
 In August, I finished a quilt for the grandmother who ordered Primary Alphabet.  It turns out that she wanted her own baby blanket to keep at her house. I used the exact same pattern, but varied the fabrics. What I enjoy most about this photo is how summery it is. (The background, really. Zack has his bicycle out, there are lush green leaves on the tree. Ah, summer.)

Look at the quilting!

Oh my gosh, the funnest thing on this quilt was that I switched up the quilting. I quilted the two halves differently. Look at the above photo, and you can see how I changed directions.
