Wedding quilt...

 My angel of a niece is getting married on Saturday.  My mother has been slaving away, making this wonderful dresden quilt for her wedding.  This was quite an undertaking for my mother and she has done a wonderful job...
 This is a shot of the bordered edge...Love the all over quilting design...The binding is done in the same green as the narrow border...
I helped my mom piece the back and I bound the quilt after it was quilted to help my mom.  It was necessary to add some width to the back so I pieced this strip into the back with a couple of partial dresdens...A label was also added to memorialize this special day coming up on Saturday...
A close up of the dresden...My mom used fabrics mostly from "The Caroler" a Mary Englebreit fabric...Hooray, it is finished.  Off to St. George for the wedding on Saturday.  We will leave at the crack of dawn on Saturday to get there...Think of me as I am making this drive....Hope I stay awake!!

Your mom did such a nice job! Wish I was going to be in St. G, but we are still in Phoenix for another week. I hope all goes very well with the wedding.
