5, 4, 3, 2, 1!

Ah, the count down for the blocks for the wedding quilt I've been working on and posting all winter/spring.  I almost made my self imposed deadline .  I'm currently working on putting the top together.  I raided a friend's stash - thank  you, Ann R. - for some good neutral fabrics to fill the gaps that result from having blocks of many different sizes.  I hope to have it all done in a few days and will show the completed top and  tell its story as soon as I'm done.


For now, here are the last five blocks!























Edited to add a very special thanks to Teresa of Fabric Therapy who helped me by making the sketch of the bride and groom and then helped me put all the applique pieces together so that I could stitch them all as a unit.  She has a wonderful applique tutorial on her blog.  I raided her stash, too. You gotta love those quilting friends who are so giving of their time, talents, and materials!  Couldn't do it without them.
