This quilt was made for the contractor who remodeled our former kitchen. He saw my quilt hanging on my entry wall and innocently asked about it. I knew he was going to be getting married fairly soon, but I was still surprised when he said he wanted a quilt for his new bride as a wedding present and he wanted me to make it. I was very flattered and was thrilled to have a somewhat unusual (for a wedding gift) color palette.....black, red, gold and white. How fun!
He was very happy with the finished quilt and I was happy that he was happy! :)

That is a beauty! I think that and log cabin are the 2 that I have made the most of. The Trip around the world quilts work with all kind of fabrics too.
I've never taken that trip Terri - but may have to soon!! Beautiful.
Wow Terri, this is such a beautiful quilt! What a thoughtful guy :-)
Gosh, what a thoughtful guy! His wife must have loved the gift. You're going to have women readers from all over wondering if there are any more at home like this fellow . . .

What a great story and quilt!
Beautiful quilt and what a great gift to give. This guy sounds like quite a catch!
Fabulous quilt! You are right that is a wonderful design to work with. Your story is similar to mine. We had a contractor finishing our basement and he saw my work and wanted me to make a quilt for his wife's upcoming birthday. If I did he would knock off the cost of the quilt off the cost of the basement remodel. It was a done deal! In the end he presented it to his wife and it made her and her mother shed tears.
What a gorgeous quilt! He sounds like he's going to be a very thoughtful husband.
