Here is my niece's wedding quilt all pieced and on the design wall. This was a kit that I picked up at the local quilt shop. The fabric was already cut in the tumbler shapes, so I just needed to piece it together. I picked a green got for the backing and a brown thread for the quilting. My husband picked the panto a swirl with hearts.

For Claire's teacher's quilt this year I did a
hand print tracing of each child at the Valentine's day party then I had then write their name in the middle of the palm.
I did a large
bargello design for the background a gradation of green to white to blue for the grass and sky.
