Another niece, another wedding quilt. This time it was Paige's turn. I was on a roll using up those batiks! The Organized Chaos pattern by Cozy Quilts is perfect for batiks. I'd been wanting to use this eggplant batik with gold stars for a while. I had never auditioned it next to other prints before. It turned out to be perfect. I need to "play" with my stash more often!
I worked on this quilt during the Covid isolation while I wasn't even thinking about blogging, so I only took two photos. Let's just jump ahead to a picture of the finished quilt .....
..... and the happy couple.
Hmmm, it doesn't seem right to leave you after such a short post and so few photos.
I'll just share a little bit about two of the quilts I made for Paige as she was growing up. Actually, she helped with one. She decided to learn to sew; she wanted to make a quilt; and Aunt Sandy was just the one to teach her.
We picked out a panel (aka "cheater cloth"), a bright aqua for borders, and hot pink and yellow for a checkerboard border. Paige did some of the sewing, but decided pretty quickly that sewing wasn't really for her. I finished up the borders, added some bright buttons as cornerstones, named it "Girlfriends", and called it "done"!
In 2005 I thought she needed a more grownup quilt. She was thirteen by then, after all. I wanted to use Judy Laquidara's pattern "Rainbow Connection", but as you can see I didn't want to use rainbow colors, just two colors - pink and black.
