Finding the Way.

The wedding quilt is finally done.  It took almost six months to complete.  It was hand quilted, on my lap. Here finally is the end result.
It is Queen size, made with traditional South African Shwe-shwe fabric.  The more the fabric is washed the softer it becomes.  It is incredibly durable, which means it will last a long time.
 The quilt from the back,  this is the center.
One of the corners, all the mariners compass blocks, received an extra round layer of batting to give  them a 3-D effect.
Pink centers was used for the four corner mariner compass blocks, this is for the four daughters.  Each have been married before, and have two daughters each.  Including them, as each and everyone of them are special in their own way.
 The large center.
 The back of the quilt.
The Label, this saying came from another quilt.  Would love to give credit to the writer, but this was one poem that was passed on from quilter to quilter .....
