Wedding Dress Quilt for Terre from Mary Manson Quilts

Terre had a pretty wedding dress with narrow lace on the skirt and lace motifs. I made a wreath design in the center, with a diamond outline. The inner panel was edged with the narrow lace. The quilting was a feather design.


Terre #1

Her grandmother made these Sunbonnet Sue blocks in 1959, and Terre wanted them made into a quilted wall hanging. I added blue sashing and border, quilted in a feather design, and quilted a circle or diamond design in the white areas around each Sue.

Appliqued them onto my favorite runner to create something special and meaningful that can be displayed as a wall hanging or table runner.
