Last month, I received a wonderful note from someone who wanted me to make a quilt for their wedding. It's going to be a Jewish wedding and they want the quilt to be the wedding canopy. The wedding
ceremony takes place under the chuppah (canopy), a symbol of the home
that the bride and groom will build together. It is open on all sides to
welcome people in unconditional hospitality. After a flurry of emails back and forth, fabrics and a pattern were chosen.
Last week the fabrics for the wedding quilt came in the mail and I just fell in love with them! They are from the Minick American Banner Rose line from Moda.
I wasn't sure how I was going to piece this quilt together as the pattern has a number of points coming all together in one place. It tends to make a bulky seam and is hard to quilt over. I finally ended up making a paper-piecing pattern and had a few of the points end just a little off-center of the quilt blocks to reduce the bulk at the center point.
I think I am really going to enjoy piecing this one together!
