Gifted Quilt

The bride and groom
I have a niece who loves the color purple. Years ago, I made a two color mystery quilt that was purple and lime green. I set it aside to gift it to her as a wedding gift. In July, she married her best friend. 

The gift area. . .note the lime green package
My niece is an honest to goodness cowgirl. Her wedding reflected her love of ranching. She and the love of her life, are so happy together. They were filled with joy and exuberance on their special day!

Back made from the leftover
Regarding the two color mystery quilt, I added a second label that listed their names and washing instructions. Best of all, I gifted it in a pillow case of coordinating fabrics. I''m sure that they didn't receive a second gift like this one!

The front
I hope it will warm them both when they need it! Documenting this quilt's forever home was goal number three on my September list. Linking to Finished or Not Friday and Patchwork and Quilts.

Wow, your quilt is gorgeous, what a perfect wedding gift! And I love the pillowcase for the packaging ;) For sure your niece and her husband will love it too; it looks like a field of flowers in the middle of fresh grass. Thank you for sharing and linking up!
