Tradition!

Long ago, my "girls," a group of us that met while in college many years ago and have remained tight-knit sisters/friends ever since, started a tradition. When one of us gets married, the others get together and make a quilt for the soon-to-be or newly married girl without her knowing anything about it. Normally, we use her wedding colors or if previously specified, her requested color(s). The first couple of quilts were done by wedding days...however, with some girls moving away and the business of life, we are currently running on an approximately two year delay! But, we still do it and that's what counts! Tradition is tradition, even if it is a few years late!

So, tonight we presented our friends Christina & Thayne (married May 2006) with their wedding quilt and had a fun potluck dinner.

Here are some photo's of the quilting process and the finished product!
