Nat and Stephanie's Wedding Quilt

When Patrick's friend Nat found his lady love in Stephanie to wed, Fay and I knew we had to make a quilt in commemoration.  For the front we chose a 'turning twenty pattern' and picked out black and white prints with a splash of red.  We tried to pick out prints that seemed.. Nat-ish.  For the back... it had to be something Monkey.... why.. because of a company called  Ximian.  And because monkeys are cool.  Mostly because monkeys are cool.

And lastly a snippet from Nat and Stephanie's wonderful Email of thanks:

" Well we finally had a chance to take the quilt out and take some pictures with it. I can't tell you how much we love this thing. It's so beautiful. I've slept under it several times already. It's really true that a quilt makes a home.

For the picture we wanted to try to find a location that would match the beauty of the quilt, so we took it with us on our hike today, in the low mountains of the pre-Alps, at the very southern border of Germany.  The lake behind us is the Tegernsee."

And what post would be complete without a picture of the lovely couple. They sent us three, but the above is by far my favorite:
