Joy's Wedding Sampler

My oldest son and his bride will have been married three years next Monday. They chose lavender and green for their wedding colors, which matched several blocks in my collection. I’d made the first dozen of these the previous year for a Debbie Beaves “Lovely in Lavender” block-of-the-month class, but I liked the prints so much I’d made nearly four dozen more! I chose thirty for this quilt, gave them two-patch cornerstones, sashing and borders, and sent it off to the quilter in time for the big day. Here it is at the reception next to an impressive staircase quilt made by a member of the bride’s family. Somehow in my haste I never took a photo of the finished top. I still have so many lavender/green blocks left. I’d planned to use them in a throw, wall hanging, table topper or sewing machine cover, but I haven’t yet. I really am deadline driven after all.
