Wedding Quilt

 My third son was recently married and I made this quilt for him and his new bride.  I think this was one of my best quilts ever!  I love how it turned out.  It is the first quilt that I had someone else quilt for me.  My new friend, Amy, inherited a long-arm machine and we bartered work from me for her quilting.  I am pleased at how well it turned out.  I was surprised at how expensive the thread was, but the variegated autumn theme was worth it in the end.  Since I don't own a long-arm quilting machine, I am determined to learn how to do more than just straight lines on my 1979 Bernina.  More to come...
