Mystery Quilt

My second daughter is getting married!  It will be almost exactly a year after her elder sister was married; Lauren and Enghui were married on May 16, 2015 and Shelby and Nate will be married on May 15, 2016.  I thought this was very thoughtful of them to keep the dates simple for my failing memory!

I waited 6 months and a surprise Art Show Reception to reveal Laurens quilt, "I want to give you the world..."  

Neither of my daughters are on Face Book, so I have shown my progress through that medium.  However, they do follow blogs, so I will also wait until after the wedding presentation to reveal Shelby and Nate's quilt.  But I will give a little hint....

I saw a beautiful "Around the World" (funny name coincidence?) quilt on Pinterest.  The colors were sooooo Shelby; very autumn themed.  But I had put so much thought and hand painted all of the fabric in Lauren's quilt, that I decided to go another route.  Then I found this book at my library.  All I can say is that I am creating a quilt that is inspired by the ideas I saw in this book.  There will be 100 very personalized blocks especially for Shelby and Nate.  Stay tuned...
