I admit it's quite odd to gift someone something with a name so putrid when you're wishing them well on their upcoming nuptials. BUT I'm quite odd anyway, so I thought it'd be hilarious.
I made a second scrap vomit quilt (because goodness knows I have enough scraps to make several more...) and halfway through, I decided it'd be a great gift for the hub's cousin Colin and fiance Joanna. They're one of my favourite couples... Always so funny and they make family get-togethers a bit more fun. So I figured they'd appreciate the crazy things that go into a scrap vomit quilt. This particular one had garlic, Twizzlers, teddy bears, Halloween candy, balloons, artichokes etc. I left the clowns out because you just never know if people think they're funny or just plain scary!
The lovely hubs is holding up the quilt because he has quite an impressive wingspan, and also, it was too damn cold to go outside to take pictures of it.
Strangely, when I was thinking about colours for block B, I had no idea what colours they liked and I bravely went with Kona Peacock and Crocus. I found out today that those are two of their favourite colours. I am a mind reader, apparently.
In my card to them, I asked if they'd like a wedding quilt made with colours of their choice. She wrote me today and said YES PLEASE. She loves handmade things and it's always so nice to make a quilt for someone who appreciates them :) And today, she sent a picture of her on the sofa under the quilt... and their dog Ziggy trying to steal the quilt. I told her that quilts are basically animal magnets and you just have to keep an eye on them!
Joanna and Colin, we wish you many blessings and years of wedded bliss :) Can't wait for the wedding in May! Love you guys!

I love your scrap vomit! Maybe because I'm making one similar. Keep doing what you do.
I think quilts make absolutely lovely presents, and this one is particularly fab!
My friends need to hurry up and start getting engaged!
Good thought leaving the clown out... :) So wait... You made a bridal shower quilt and you're making a wedding quilt too? :)) Her Mom will be really jealous, LOL! It looks great, Audrie!
How wonderful! She looks so pleased (and like a movie star)
If you ever need a place to send a quilt, I bet her mother would fall over if she got one. I love her inspecting it.
It really is more fun to make things for people who "get" handmade isn't it? This turned out so beautifully! LOVE it :-)
Lovely. What size is that? Good plan leaving out the clowns. Clowns are funny but yeah, sometimes scary!!
Clowns=scary. Have you never seen It by Stephen King?
besides the fact that the quilt is awesomesauce and is such a nice gift, i love her dress and i love love love her hair!!! so jelly right now....
