This is our wedding quilt. I scrambled to get it done in the months and days and then finally hours before the big day (12/21/2002). And thanks to the help of a few extra hands like my friend Kay Perkins and my Aunt Jan, it was ready. Turns out a queen size quilt might be a little big and heavy for a chuppah, but that's okay. We got it up there on those tree-braches turned chuppah poles somehow and when we got home the next day, we found that friends had already put it on our bed, where it was used as our bedspread for several years until the dog started sleeping on the bed and I refused to let him sleep on it. The stars of David are made with variations on tumbling blocks and the center is crazy quilting and appliqué in the design of our wedding invitation and ketubah. I hand embroidered the lettering, which may have been why I was so rushed at the end.
This is a picture of it hanging on the wall at our reception - another thing that just magically happened, who knows who did that.
