Wedding Quilt Update

I finally have some pictures of the quilt I've been building for a nephew and his bride. Here you can see the bulk of the body of the quilt:


As usual, there's one row that isn't in the photo, but you get the idea. You remember there was one crazy block that was too small to use on the front? I needed to add a strip to the yardage I had for the back to get the necessary length so I started with that crazy block.


I also used some leftover bits from the strip piecing I made for the border on the front.


If I'm not mistaken, front and back are ready to go to the quilter!


I have a feeling that quilting is going to turn this quilt into something special. It was never meant to be an heirloom but I would still like it to be a welcome addition to their new home. :- )

I've been struggling with fatigue of late. Turns out I've developed an iron deficiency. The doctor apparently saw some other things that concern her. I've had a biopsy done and am now waiting for the results. I expect to have them early next week. Fingers crossed for good news!
