A scrappy wedding quilt

In January 2012 I gave my friend Yvonne a quilt kit,

cut from my scraps and those of my mother,

for her 50th birthday.

All the bricks measure 2.5 by 4.5 inches.

Fast forward to last weekend, 

where the quilt top is in a frame, ready for hand stitches

at her daughter's wedding.

Here Mr. Scraps is putting in a few stitches

and he's not even left-handed!

 Yvonne set up the frame at the venue and encouraged everyone to put in a few stitches.

She had an eloquent speech at the dinner about how this quilt features fabrics from many people

and like a marriage, is beautiful in its variety and contrasts.

Sorry for the blurry pix.

And we can't have a wedding quilt without a bride, right?

Here's DS1 and DS2 with the bride.

An interesting note: The bride started sewing the bricks together

and her mom finished the job,

so they both had fun with my quilt kit!
