Arizona... Wedding Quilt

Arizona... Wedding Quilt

Our son was getting married! He and his future wife lived in Arizona at the time. She was born and raised there. She loves the desert colors. I found this block called Arizona, and thought it would be perfect for their wedding quilt. I stitched Saguaro cacti along the borders with sage brush where I had some puckering. ( I filled it in) I also found a Thunderbird Navaho Jewelry piece and used it as a pattern or template to quilt in the corners of the border. Also "wrote" their name and date of marriage on the border as well. I hand quilted some geometric designs on the block. I stitched in the ditch as well. With the leftover fabric I made a "pillow case" type cover to store the quilt in when not in use, just to keep the dust off. Like a dust cover! The "words" were written on the computer. Then I took that and found a window and traced that onto freezer paper. Ironed the freezer paper onto a white piece of fabric, then stitched over the words. This made the label for their quilt.
