Double Wedding Ring wedding quilt...

This adorable couple got married last year.

This is my son, Gavin, and his pretty wife, Brooke.

 

"I DO".....

 

 

What a cute little family....

 

 

Brooke has always wanted a "Double Wedding Ring" quilt - so.....I made one for her.

 

 

I decided to use the "Metro Rings" pattern by Sew Kind of Wonderful.

 

 

It was so fun to make.....I have one cut out for myself, too.

 

 

Making progress......

 

 

The rings are coming together.

 

 

I'm in love with this backing - Fabric.com...get it here.

 

 

Brooke requested a grey background, turquoise and apricot corners, and vintage type rings.

I used my Denyse Schmidt stash for the rings.

 

 

I kept it simple - stippled the entire quilt and added a pretty feather in the outer border.

 

 

It's a queen size - about 90" x 108"....80 blocks.

 

 

All bound & headed to Alaska - where they are stationed.

Yes, I hugged it and filled it with love before I sent it.

I love you....

 

my son's wedding...

My son, Gavin, got married last week.

He married the sweetest girl - Brooke.

They are perfect for each other.

She has two adorable little kids - now they are the most adorable little family.

Here are a few photos of the happy family...

At the courthouse in Tucson, AZ, with a plethora

(I love that word) of others waiting to get married.

Brooke's mom is helping the little ones.

(Brooke is totally rocking those heels!)

 

 

And the four became one...

 

 

 I love this son of mine...

 

 

The anticipation....waiting, waiting....

 

 

My family....I love these people!

(my daughter & her cute family, my husband & Gavin are the bookends)

 

 

Happy couple!

 

 

 

 I made each of them a snuggly quilt. 

This is Gavin's - softness on the back (a blanket from Costco) and "Hello Bear" stags on the front. 

 

 

I purchased the fabric from one of my favorite online shops, Hawthorne Threads.

I simply quilted straight horizontal lines.

 

 

 Brooke got this beautiful stag panel, also from Hawthorne Threads. 

I just added a couple of borders and quilted it with swirls.

 

 

 

 Mmmmmm a blanket from Costco on the back.

 

 

love.....
