When my nephew announced last year he was engaged, I told him I would make a wedding quilt. He said that since he already had a quilt, he'd allow his fiancee to choose the colors. When they came to my house for dinner last Christmas, I asked. M suggested perhaps green, or yellow?
I got and went into my studio to fetch the Allegretto quilt. "Like this," I asked?
They both agreed it was "The One." So it went home with them last year. Mission Accomplished.
Here's another photo of the quilt. I worked on it in April of 2021, so you'd have to go back into my Archives to see how it came to be.
The Allegretto quilt has a fabulous backing of all kinds of gorgeous colorful birds. The quilting is over-the-top too.
Anyway, today is their shower, and since I have already gifted them the quilt, I won't be able to show it off. Now everyone knows this quilt has a home.

Certainly a happy quilt reflecting the new owners smiles!
Congrats to your nephew and fiance. What a beautiful quilt to choose.
Isn't it great when you can gift something that you already have on hand? I decided to give Paul's niece her choice of quilts so we went upstairs and looked at all the ones on the guest bed. She picked just the one I'd hoped she'd pick, and she loves it. Mission accomplished!
It’s absolutely gorgeous, Lynn. I love the quilting pattern, too. It’s so rewarding to gift a quilt to someone who loves it as much as you did in making it.
I love stories like these - everyone ends up being happy.
Delightful to have the perfect quilt already finished. Best wishes to the happy couple.
