Yippee!!! It's that time of year again. Time for spreading all that quilty inspiration across the net. Hundreds of people share their favorite quilts and quilt stories. So grab a cup of your favorite beverage, put your feet up on the desk and prepare to be inspired. Just stop over at Amy's for all the quilty goodness there is to share. Linky starts on 10/25. If you haven't figured out what you want to enter, it's not too late. Share your quilt, share your story and link up on 10/25. Oh and of course lots of great prizes too ;)
So my entry this fall is a very special quilt for two very special people. It's a wedding quilt for my nephew and his beautiful bride! I knew I wanted something special for them and I wanted it to be a tad bit more modern than traditional. These two fit together so perfectly that I knew Labyrinth was the quilt for them. I love how the squares fit inside each other. Each having their own different aspects and able to stand alone completely but when seen together, they highlight and strengthen each other. That's just like the happy couple.
And here is their quilt. This is the first quilt that I used a ruler on, so I went a little crazy, and hey they've have been known to do that from time to time as well. I put a different design on each square but tried to keep some things in common through out, the 1/4 in edge with pebble. A unifying aspect, appropriate for a wedding quilt huh?
So here you go, hope you enjoy.
