My son, an Army Combat Medic, fell in love with his bride on the internet when he was deployed to Afghanistan. They announced their intentions in March and I got to work. The colors they told me were: Red, Orange, Pink, Blue and Black. I've always done very traditional quilt patterns so this threw me off. Then she said, "You know? Like the sun and the moon?" THAT I could get on board with. I took another one of my Daghters-in-law with me to pick out the fabrics (she has a GREAT eye) and we went with several batik jelly rolls. It took me 2 Saturdays (I work full time) to piece it together with my machine and then I started quilting. I quilt by hand. Between work, band (I'm a drummer), grandkids, volunteering etc, I have to eek out quilting time. I just finished quilting yesterday. It took me 6 months to complete and the wedding is in 10 days!
