First Double Wedding Ring Quilt III

I did not know the end of this quilt journey would be so emotional. Thank you for all of your sweet comments. I wanted to share the photo my baby brother just posted all the way from Zimbabwe. He travels to Africa about 3 times a year for missions work and this beautiful couple takes care of him while he visits. They have been married almost a year and now they have the quilt in their hands. My heart is full and happy tears keep flowing. I am not an artist, and am fairly new at quilting. My brother and I put ideas together and he counted on me to select prints, colors, and designs. I started adding my own spin on the intertwining flowers and vines. I couldn’t fmq feathers for the quilting design because my brain would not work with my hand motion so I just made up the design as I went along. I was fatigued after an unexpected surgery but had to finish to make a deadline. My husband helped me take photos and fed ex the quilt to Texas so that it could then be put in a suitcase headed overseas. I will never forget this journey and love this couples smile in the photo. I am taking a break. It may be a long break. So thank you everyone on this app for being positive and cheering me on. P
