Charon Dominique's Quilt - Made as a gift for my daughter's wedding in Alberta, Canada this September. My first full size quilt since making baby blankets for my kids decades ago. The middle represents the wheat of Alberta where they met and married. Turned sideways it represents the waves of BC where my daughter was raised. The nine circles represent the letters in my daughter's name (DOMINIQUE), and she is from a family of 4, her husband a family of 5. It's also my lucky number. I wanted neutral colours so they can use it or hang it whatever their colour scheme. I presented it to them at their wedding reception of 200 people. There are single blocks circling the image and double blocks, representing that they are now a couple. The blocks are 5", I will make them bigger next time as it was fiddly. Friends, family and grandparents embroidered daisies on the quilt as it made its way to the wedding. In the future we believe the quilt will be covered with daisies from visitors. The gerber daisy was their wedding flower. There are more stories hidden in the quilt, just ask about the penny mystery and other details. When I visit my daughter in the future, I will always add to the quilt by embroidering something new, like a new daisy or hidden messages. I am sending them the left over fabric scraps, so if by chance it ever needs patching, it can be. I see this as a new family heirloom and they have already cuddled on the couch in it on the day after their wedding when opening wedding gifts. My son also cuddled on the couch with it. I see it as a wall hanging as well as an every day quilt and that''s why I made the back in a darker panelled fabric, as I want them to use it! Although it does make a lovely wall hanging as well. Please write to me or see my blog for more pictures! Please see my new blog about How to Quilt an Embedded Circle. http://charonobrien.blog.com MY DREAM: I am asking people to follow my blog instructions and send me a 6" block of their embedded circle, which I will then add to other's to make a quilt. http://charonobrien.blog.com I see making a quilt or few to use as a fundraiser for a charity event (TBA) Oprah, due to the circles, would be great to have endorse the future quilt. Please write to me, for my mailing address of where to send your CIRCLE of friends block, at charonobrien @ gmail.com. Thanks for this site as I am a passionate, happy first time quilter since quilting a pillow at high school. Happy Quilting! Charon
