My friend Penny has just made a beautiful quilt to be gifted as a wedding quilt early in the new year. The quilt has been made mainly from the Moda Rouenneries by French General range of fabrics. The Rouenneries range is a lovely collection of printed cottons and woven stripes. Rouenneries were the cotton prints printed in Rouen, France during the mid-18th Century. The inspiration for these designs were based on a collection of old prints and stripes from this era in shades of reds, naturals and chocolate browns. Penny has certainly managed to put these fabrics together to make a stunning quilt - I particularly love the reds in this quilt.
As Penny wanted a quilting design which was not too feminine and floral, I have again used the Gothic Vine design which draws your eye around the quilt.
I will be taking a break from quilting for customers over the holidays but will hopefully get to do some of my own quilting.
The Rouenneries range has some beautiful solid fabrics in the range and I love the way the quilting stands out on these fabrics.
This was the last quilt I had to complete before Christmas - I am sure it will be well received by the bride and groom.

Favorite fabrics! What a lovely wedding gift.
