Last September my son Kevin married his
sweetheart Skyla. I love making wedding
quilts and bringing the personality of two people together in the project. Kevin loves argyle and Skyla’s favourite
colour is pink, so an idea was born. The
small crossing lines are hot pink.

A few years ago I had picked up the book Hook,
Line and a Hole in One by Four Corners which had the pattern for an argyle
quilt in it, I had always thought I would make this quilt for Kevin, so a
wedding gift was an excellent opportunity.
The pantograph that I used was called
Paisley Max by Jodi Beamish and paisley just happens to be another pattern that
Kevin likes, and he did comment on the quilting pattern when they opened their
gift.

I like the idea of having matching pillow
shams especially for full/queen size quilts and have used Heather Mulder
Peterson and Deb Mulder’s book Shams With Style, several times to complete the
bedding picture.

Congratulations on a year of marriage!
Blankets wrap you in warmth, quilts wrap you in
love.
