May I present Wedding Quilt #3! This beautifully soft, low-contrast quilt is called Whispering Stars and the pattern was featured in an old American Patchwork & Quilting magazine. I gathered the fabrics - from an old
Robyn Pandolph line called Somerset Cottage - from here and there, a few years back, and then the pile sat. I really wanted to make this one for myself but when I found out the bride loved pastels, I decided to make the quilt for the happy couple. I would just enjoy it while I was making it.
I really got to put my
Quilt In a Day Flying Geese Ruler to work on this quilt making those 80 star blocks! Using that ruler is really my favorite way of making geese - they come out perfect every time, making this quilt go together so easily.
The pantograph I used to quilt it is called
Heart's a Flutter - very appropriate!
Here are a few photos of the day...

Cute signs - Ceremony this way, and Cocktails this way too!

Even though it was way too hot that day (everything was outside), it was a beautiful wedding. And I understand the bride and groom absolutely loved the quilt!

Treasureboxmemories commented on my Wedding Quilt #2 post asking what line the "Beaches" fabric I featured was from (but I couldn't respond as the comment was "no reply, so I hope you see this!). That fabric is from the Lucy's Crab Shack by Sweetwater from Moda line. It's called "Beaches on Cream"

Love the quilt, love the quilting and love the hubby in a kilt. My hubby is Scottish and has his own kilt too. How hot to wear in summer though.
The quilting is so lovely on that quilt! Really adds great texture!
love the low-volume look, great quilting!
This is a lovely quilt. The pastels make it look dainty and delicate!
