Wedding gift

This is a quilt that I promised my sister as a wedding gift. Her wedding was a year and a half ago.  Sigh... Sometimes I take forever to get things done. But, it is finally finished, and shipped to her. Yay!  This was the largest quilt I have done so far - a queen size. It was really fun though - very different from other quilts I have done.
I used the material that she used for tablecloth squares on her tables at her wedding, so they are her wedding colors. And then I found backing that coordinated perfectly, and it worked out great. I found it just in time too, because it was out of stock in most stores online.
This shows what the backing material looks like (not sure why there are streaks across the photo)

This is the picture my sister took and posted on facebook - it looks great in their room - and is a much better photo than the ones I took :)
