This is my beautiful niece and her very handsome fiancé.  Aren’t they just beautiful?  When she announced they were getting married, I immediately knew that I was going to make a blue and green quilt because she is a swimmer and loves water.

I used a large scale print, stacked it and cut it with a kaliedescope ruler to make these fun spinners throughout.   I had to make up my own  pattern based on a picture of a quilt designed by the amazing Linda Miller on Flickr.  She doesn’t have a book or patterns, so I figured I would make it up.  I couldn’t be happier with the result!

I wrapped it up with a fun blue bow and took it to the shower in Albuquerque.  Oh the things we do for family, right?

They both LOVED it!  (I’m not surprised). A fun part of the quilt was the royal blue knit I used for the backing.  It was a piece of fabric from my mother, my niece’s grandma, that I have had it around for years.  I figured that now was the perfect time to use it:)

I am very happy with how this quilt turned out.  It is totally SWEET!

Thank you for dropping by,
