Ta-da!

As promised, here are the pictures of the triple Irish chain quilt that I just finished. It was a hit at the general shower. People just oohhed and aahhed over it so I guess it is not as funny looking as I had feared. Or maybe everyone was just being polite and didn't want to hurt my feelings. Either way the bride-to-be and her mom sure liked it so I guess that is all that matters. The bride's mother said that the bride already has a navy dust ruffle and navy pillow shams. I think that is what is missing in my mind. My pale bed skirt just doesn't help. I can see how it could be very striking with the navy background and accent pieces so I think this quilt is redeemed in my eyes. It really needs the toning influence of navy blue. Now that is all the incentive I need to go ahead and make some matching throw pillows. They will be for the personal shower for the bride. I know, not very personal, but she can throw them.
