Flowers of the Holy Land

Flowers of the Holy Land - This quilt was made for my parent's 60th wedding anniversary. I used embroidery patterns from www.emblibrary.com - Flowers of the Bible Design Pack and original designs that applique'd photo transfer fabric photos of their marriage and courtship. The reverse was a simple framework that showed off the quilting well. Set on point, these 15" blocks were bound together to form a secondary pattern, as in an irish chain. The finished quilt is queen-sized. The large format blocks were easy to quilt on my Bernina. The sashing strips were 2 1/2". All in all, I was quite pleased with the end result and will do this again. For more pictures go to http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=207657&id=670478133&l=5db14894bd.
