Here it is. It’s 108″x 108″, all cotton with Warm ‘n’ Natural cotton batting. My mom came in May and helped me pick fabric, buy fabric and piece it together. Ty wanted red and khaki, so we picked two reds and two creams and pieced the top like one HUGE log cabin block.

The back is my favorite though.

It’s a bunch of 10 inch log cabin blocks strung together with the blue I used for the binding on a field of red. Mom made the pillow shams with scraps and extra blocks. I think they’re cool.

Here’s a detail of the back.

The quilting took me forever. I had to bring the unfinished quilt in its own suitcase with me to Boise and finish it after the wedding. I spent about 6 hours last Monday finishing up the quilting. My first estimate of how long it took me quilt it was about 12 hours, but now that I’m sitting here thinking it out more, I think it took more like 20. I bound it on Tuesday, and gave it to Tyler and Katie on Friday after we got back from our camping trip and helped them move in to their apartment.

HAPPY WEDDING TY AND KATIE!! I hope you like it:)
