John & Ruth's Wedding Quilt

The quilt made for John & Ruth's wedding in 1985.

The light yellow center blocks were embroidered by family members on each side of the couple's family.  This must have been a real effort on everyone's part because this couple did not have such a long engagement and the quilt was all ready by the wedding date.

the top picture is how I placed the completed blocks to decide what order they should be in.

Second picture is the quilting process after the orange strips were sewn into place, the orange backing and filling were secured on the frame before the top was placed on the frame.  My youngest son, Andrew is supervising the work that I am doing.


 Pictures three & four show the finished product.  I haven't figured out how to turn them the right way.
