Back in September of 2011, my nephew got married in a "destination wedding" at the Outer Banks, N.C. Although the day started with hints of a few clouds, and perhaps rain, it cleared up and produced the most amazing sunset. The rainbow colors were something out of a picture postcard.

| Miranda's dad created the wedding arch out of some old wood, accented with fish netting and seashells. We all gathered on the beach for a special ceremony, for a special couple. |

| Although this photo is not from the wedding day, it echoes the same purples, oranges, and pinks we saw that night. This was from their wedding website, and I used it as a "map" to create a wedding quilt keepsake gift for them. First step, shopping for some gorgeous batiks! (never a bad idea) |

| Sorry I don't have a better photo of the finished quilt! I asked Nathan to send me a picture of the quilt hanging in their house...I will post it when I receive it. I simply cut rectangles and pieced in a bricks pattern. Quilting was done in organic horizontal lines, in various thread colors. |

| I do like the look of parallel lines quilting, but it is quite time consuming! I was so pleased that Nathan and Miranda were happy with the outcome. Pretty memento to a their beautiful wedding. |
