craftgrrl | My sis's wedding quilt started!

Ah... some sizable progress made on my sister's/brother-in-law's
wedding quilt for their wedding on August 9th. Burgundy said to either make it purple, Mike's favorite color, or natural colors, since they were eventually going to decorate their house with those colors. I opted for naturals, designing something with contrast.

Heres' the center of it, a basketweave pattern. I had the strips sewn together but was reluctant to iron them flat in the summer heat. Today has been nice and cool. Just perfect.

The plan is to make the whole quilt about 100" square. The next step is to make a concentric square of black and white 8 pointed stars. After that a border of fabric than another concentric square of log cabin blocks. Assuming that bring it about 100", I'll add a couple more borders and Ta Da!

I'm hoping to have the quilt top done by the wedding, and then get it machine quilted. The joy of quilting, for me, is the fabric selection, design and piecing. Purists may scoff at my disinterest in quilting, but so be it.
