Wedding Quilt for R & C

My niece Miss R recently got Married to Mr C.  When I asked them what colors they would like for a wedding quilt they sent me a picture of paint chips.  The colors ranged from gray to blue to teal to sea green.  I decided to make a 2 by 4 quilt (tutorial here) in those colors because it reminded me a little of the paint chip picture.  

This was my fabric pull for the quilt.  It was mostly scraps and a little bit of stash.  A lot of the scraps were leftover from the blue and white ocean wave quilt.  Scrap quilts are the best! Strip piecing made this quilt come together quickly.  

I quilted it on the Bernina Q24.

I did my favorite loopy spiral, but a little bit more dense than I normally do.  

It still quilted up in just a day.

I trimmed it up and made the binding.  I now have a wool pressing mat that is 60 inches wide from Amazon.  I absolutely love it for ironing yardage, long seams, and binding.  When I am not using it I can put it on the pantograph table  of my long arm.  

Then I got the binding on.  

I love how it turned out! The two by four tutorial is great.  I did cut my pieces slightly bigger so that the blocks finish at 9 by 10 inches.  

My niece and new nephew love it.

I have already made another two by four quilt for another niece with plans to make an orange one for me.
