Jay and Katie's Quilt - Finally :-)

I was looking for photos on my blog of my row quilt and realized that it never did make it to the blog last year! It was a wedding gift, and I didn't post it right away so the bride and groom wouldn't see it, but I can't find it on the blog! So, better late than never, this was another UFO that has been in the works for a long time. I think I started it in 2000 or 2001? as a block of the month teaching project and I just kept adding blocks when I had another class and needed a sample to demonstrate :-). The blocks are 6" finished. I used the same background for each block then decided to set it in rows with sashing in between. Katie and Jay visited one day for coffee and the top happened to be on a table and she absolutely loved it. So, that decided where this quilt was going to go! Here is the finished quilt:
