Guest Book Quilt

Well, it is finally complete, the Guest Book Quilt I started months ago. I really, really like how it turned out! The front is several different fabrics in a very simple square and circle pattern. The guests wrote on individual squares at the wedding, and I sewed them together when I got home. I used grey Kona Cotton on the back and the inset strip was one of the table runners from the wedding that I incorporated into the final product. I hand quilted this and really loved the results once I washed it. Can't wait to send it home to the happy new couple! If you have any questions about making a guest book quilt, feel free to contact me. There isn't much information out there about them, but you can really do whatever pattern you like. On to the next project, wonder what I can dream up...

A Peek...

So, here is a glimpse of the guest book quilt I'm working on. Due to the fact that the wedding isn't for exactly a month, I won't be able to actually sew this together just yet, but I wanted to see what it was going to look like. It is kind of crazy, with lots of colors, but I feel like it will be really cool when it's done. Something totally different than I would have chosen for myself, but it is for my dear friend, and I think it will be perfect for her! Thoughts, suggestions?!

Now I'm off to sew a travel pouch and hopefully some coffee sleeves one of these days. So much to do, so little time...happily!

New Project

Well, much going on here, finally had a chance to get started on the next project. This is the fabric that my friend chose for her guest book quilt that I will be making for her wedding that is next month. I cut out the squares for this project today, and I will probably start cutting the circles for the machine applique tomorrow!! I will post more pictures soon. This quilt is going to be amazing!
