Well, I am pleased to say that it all came together (in more ways then one. Mu-ha-ha!) It was all so very last minute, but thanks to my Mother-in-law, who let us borrow some quilting frames and a bunch of quilting gear, we were able to make a quilt. Together. It was so great. I picked out some Amy Butler fabrics about 2 hours before the shower, ran home, washed it, mom cut it and sewed it together, while Megan & I got the food ready and voila, it was ready to be put together & tied.
As part of the gear my MIL let us borrow, there was this awesome sheet that had all these holes already cut out (new to me, the amateur quilter) which made it so much easier and made for no pre-tying marking or any of that mumbo-jumbo.
Anyway, the ends still need to be finished, but I think the future Mr. & Mrs. Zinke are going to get lots of cozy cuddle time under this quilt in the cold Vermont winters. The big wedding is 4 days away. WOW. We are all so happy around these parts.
Thanks for all the great quilt advice and for the e-mails. You guys are always so helpful!
